A stone spiral staircase. Upstairs, a large room without any decor, two other rooms. A great peak. On the south-east side, a superb cryptoporticus on which the wooden gallery may have stood, it includes a series of vaulted rooms, in particular the large kitchens with their superb stereotomy. Beautiful stone slab floors. A second basement level houses flooded galleries. Remains of the stairway pavilion with two semicircular bays, straight staircase with banister under a semicircular vault. To the North-East, outbuildings, largely rebuilt after the First World War, in the centre, a porch house topped with a four-sided roof, attached to a staircase turret topped with a dome. Inside, a few rare original elements, a stone spiral staircase, a neo-Renaissance fireplace. Nice volume on the first floor of the porch. Character : Gabrielle d'Estrees.

The family having great social ambitions, it already cumulated important charges and functions, Gabrielle met King Henri IV at Coeuvres-Valsery in 1590, through her lover. The King courted her ardently, returning especially to Coeuvres-Valsery, after six months, she yielded. He wanted to marry her, even going so far as to announce their marriage in public at a party at the Louvre on February 23, 1599; she died shortly after April 10, 1599 while carrying the child she had had with Henry IV, certainly as a result of her pregnancy, although she showed all the signs of poisoning, which for a long time hovered over the doubt about the cause of his death.

Surrounded by a moat, the château stands elegantly back from an imposing main courtyard, which is accessed via a majestic wrought iron gate from a long driveway lined with old trees. Built of tufa stone with slate roofs on an irregular three-storey plan, this complex comprises a main building framed by two pavilions flanked by corbelled turrets, extended to the west by a two-storey pleasure building and to the east by a three-storey pavilion. The latter was added in the second half of the 19th century. In the centre, in front of the main building, a remarkable tufa porch topped by a terrace surrounded by magnificent balusters forms the main entrance to the château. The neo-Gothic style, characterised by the exuberance of Renaissance splendour, was used extensively to decorate the building. The façades, doors, windows, pediments, pinnacles, dormer windows and turrets are adorned with finials, bracketed and drip lintels, clerestory friezes, crenellations, chimeras, coats of arms, etc... The interior style is also largely inspired by the somewhat fanciful architectural codes used in the first half of the 19th century. Ground floor: passing through the porch, one reaches the entrance from where an L-shaped gallery leads from the older main part of the château on one side to the more recent 19th century pavilion on the other. Opposite the entrance is a study, followed on its right by a series of rooms in a row, a dining room, a large recent kitchen with direct access to the courtyard of honour, a scullery, a boiler room and a storeroom, while following the gallery on its left one reaches a spacious, more classical lounge before arriving in the 19th century pavilion. This central section features beautiful polychrome cement tile, parquet and marble floors, panelled picture rails, beautifully crafted stained glass windows and wooden shutters, monumental tufa stone fireplaces, a marble fireplace and admirable painted and illuminated ceilings. The 19th-century pavilion houses a vast VIP lounge with a parquet floor, a wooden fireplace carved with sophisticated ornamentation, impressive stained glass windows and a ceiling with closoirs. Finally, a gallery connects the 19th-century pavilion to the main gallery via an attractive, light-filled glass roof overlooking the kitchen garden to the south. The upper floors are accessed from the south end of the gallery via a beautiful spiral staircase with impressive wooden balusters, rising to the roof and topped by an imposing cupola. On the first floor: a landing leads to a gallery with five north-facing bedrooms on either side, each with its own bathroom, dressing room and storage space. There are parquet floors, marble fireplaces, wooden shutters, exposed beams and ornate ceilings. A future master suite is being created at the west end of the château. A delightful small wooden baluster stairway, with Gothic-inspired ogival archway decoration, leads to the upper floor. On the second floor, corridors lead to four bedrooms, two bathrooms and several storage rooms.
