General description

This building was built in 1770 on the ruins of a 13th century castle. The architect to whom we owe this magnificent work is none other than Louis Victor (author of the Bordeaux opera), under the influence from an aristocratic family who had made their fortune in Martinique. The historical richness of this property is such that its acquisition is like acquiring a piece of French history, so it is not surprising that this construction is classified as a historic monument. This building which has survived the centuries is in the form of a main stone building and two outbuilding wings set at right angles, in the middle a magnificent paved courtyard closed by a monumental gate flanked by two iron gates. It should be noted that this ironwork is protected and classified (Registered Historic Monument). The property is built in stone on 4 levels, its particularity being 2 levels on the main facade and 4 on the rear, the whole covered with a traditional tile roof (canal), numerous openings form a well-balanced and harmonious whole.
