On the footsteps of Joan of Arc, a small 16th-century village chateau, registered as a Historic Monument. The property is located in the center of the village, overlooking the plain, facing the church. It consists of the union of two buildings made of rubble covered with lime plaster. The first one aligns with the street, probably an old agricultural outbuilding, with two levels featuring an ornate corner console, four openings, three bullseye windows, and a wooden garage door. It extends perpendicularly with a living space preceded by a gravel courtyard at the entrance, a terrace at the back with a garden, and a hillside planted with conifers, shrubs, and fruit trees on the south gable. The whole also includes a single-level outbuilding, covered with mechanical tiles, continuing from the old agricultural outbuilding. The living space in its entirety, the facades and roofs of the secondary building, the footprint of the courtyard, and the enclosing wall with the old gate are registered as a Historical Monument.This description has been automatically translated from French.
