The chateau is a dominating piece of architecture that has stood at the heart of the community for many hundreds of years. As with any major house in France, much of the local area has built around the chateau in order to accommodate the needs of the nobles who once lived there. Luckily the building survived the fighting and deliberate sackings of the French Revolution, and today with its gardens, is a place that allows visitors to take a step back in time into.
