A listed, 16th century house and its 6 ha of wooded parklands 35 minutes from Paris. This residence, the origins of which date back to the 16th century, can be seen standing in front of its 6 ha parklands, once through its large listed gates on the outskirts of the village. Just like the best mansion houses, it features a paved courtyard on the north side and a lawn surrounded by woods on the south side.
The main, almost perfectly symmetrical facade on the courtyard side is made impressive by the stone quoins at each end. Stone steps in the middle lead up to the main entrance. The pediment is reminiscent, surely involuntarily, of a 19th century restoration, courtesy of its brick-framed oculus which easily evokes the revolutionary cockade. The numerous openings on the other side show that the garden is an integral part of the property, like a vast summer lounge surrounded by a wall of forest.
The residence’s main building dates back to the 16th century, but the style of its extension is not sufficiently distinctive for it to be attributed to a later period. All facades and roofs have been listed on the French Historic Monument Inventory since 1977. The building is extended by its outbuildings, some of which were recently restored.
