It enjoys excellent road connections, being conveniently situated midway between Rennes and Angers. Paris is 340 km away. Pouancé has a rich historical past, centred around its 13th-century castle. It originally grew up around the village of Saint Aubin. A hotly contested area between the Franks and the Bretons, Pepin the Great created the first march of Brittany to contain the Breton invasions. The second march was created by Charles the Bald, which included Pouancé. This gave rise to the first seigneury. A feudal motte was then created and the Middle Ages saw the town develop with its renowned forges and imposing fortress. The town is a real horse-riding centre, with the Centre d'Entrainement de Galop de l'Ouest (CERGO). Pouancé and the surrounding area boasts a wide range of quality restaurants and accommodation.

To the west, at a distance from the buildings, the grassy grounds lead to a pond below, which reflects the tall trees’ foliage. Following on from there, the walls of the former vegetable garden close the property off from the outside. The chateau, listed as a historical monument, was edified in 1844 in a Neo-Gothic style. As for the grounds, they are also listed as a historical monument and were designed in 1877. Their landscaped composition, emblematic of the passion for botany in the 19th century, is the result of the close collaboration between an industrialist from Sarthe and Edouard André, an internationally renowned landscape architect, who designed Paris’s Buttes-Chaumont Park. The dwelling’s interior presents décor inspired from the 18th century, completed with Art Deco details.

Set within 300 hectares, this property of royal appearance, owned in the 19th century by descendants of the English royal family, stands as one of the most brilliant and sumptuous historic estates in western France, both for its classical 17th- and 18th-century architecture, its park designed by the great landscape architect Edouard André (notably responsible for the Monte Carlo park), and its interior decoration marked by superb 18th-century woodwork, a grand gallery, and a sumptuous marble salon; all overlooking, with a magnificent view, a rare private racecourse still in operation. The majestic private avenue, over one kilometer long and lined with century-old plane trees, winds through the park, offering superb vistas, and leads to a grand perspective revealing the most beautiful, brilliant, and elegant 18th-century château in Anjou, after passing through classical gardens of topiary, pools, and fountains. This property, described as “quasi-royal,” is clearly inspired by the Palace of Versailles: three grand approach perspectives, a U-shaped courtyard around a 17th-century building begun in 1635 and expanded in the 18th century with two lateral wings of outbuildings opening onto inner courtyards, and an east–west orientation capturing sunlight throughout the day.
