ENCHANTING 18TH-CENTURY CHATEAU IN PERFECT CONDITION IN A REGIONAL NATURAL PARK 1H40 FROM PARIS - Museum-quality 18th-century interior decoration - 18 hectares - Monumental greenhouses 100 meters long - Private 5-hectare lake - Riverbank - Abbeville, Somme. Overlooking the splendid natural site of the Somme Valley, this 18th-century masterpiece with its highly refined symmetrical brick-and-stone architecture, inspired by a landmark 18th-century architectural treatise, rises atop a series of monumental south-facing terraces sheltering some of the largest private greenhouses in France, stretching 100 meters in length. The 18-hectare classical and romantic landscaped park is bordered for 1 km by the river and includes a 5-hectare lake dotted with small peninsulas. The chateau, flooded with light throughout the day thanks to its East-West orientation, features sumptuous sequences of salons and bedrooms adorned with painted and gilded rococo woodwork housing original paintings by Jean-Baptiste Huet, creating an enchanting décor enhanced by the magnificent south-facing views over the valley from the salons. The architecture of the chateau, of remarkable virtuosity, presents a classical symmetry reminiscent of the architecture of the Hôtel de Biron, now the Musée Rodin in Paris, completed in 1737. The architect Charles-Étienne Briseux began the chateau in 1733 and published the plans in his work “L'Art de bâtir les maisons de campagne” in 1743. Pierre de Buissy, son of the original patron, completed the interior decoration around 1763. His portrait by Joseph-Siffred Duplessis is held in the Ottawa Museum and is currently featured in a major exhibition in Carpentras under the direction of the Louvre. It is said that the splendor of the chateau originated from a youthful romance he allegedly had at Versailles with Adélaïde de France, daughter of Louis XV, and that he wished to receive her at his chateau in order to marry her. Inside, after ascending the grand central staircase, the ground floor, flooded with light all day long and lavishly appointed, is arranged around an oval stone hall decorated with antique-style pilasters and a black-and-white cabochon floor. It opens onto an exceptional dining room with 18th-century painted wood paneling decorated with vegetal motifs and adorned with two oil-on-canvas paintings on the theme of Love by Jean-Baptiste Huet (1745–1811), whose works are displayed in the world's greatest museums, including the Louvre, the MET in New York, and the VA in London. The ground floor continues with the gilded salon featuring white-and-gold woodwork with dual exposure, decorated with a beautiful marble fireplace, followed by the spectacular Zodiac Salon, flooded with light from triple East, South and West exposures and offering sumptuous views over the valley. It is decorated with 12 zodiac sign paintings, a marble fireplace, large double interior doors, and Versailles parquet flooring. A magnificent staircase with faux-marble painted walls and a wrought-iron banister leads to the upper floors.
