• The chateau of the Gouffier family.
The current chateau was built by three successive generations of
powerful patrons of the arts between the second half of the 15th
century and 1642. Between 1669 and 1683 the chateau was modified to
give onto a forecourt with two pavilions, the ‘Trophies Pavilion’ to
the east and the ‘King’s Pavilion’ to the west, and the facade was
altered.
