30 minutes from Angers, in a village on the banks of the Loire, a Renaissance house with guest houses, outbuildings, and a formal garden. A village lane serves the different accesses to the property, which was once a priory belonging to the Abbey of Fontevraud, as attested by a plaque still visible on one of the walls. The main porch, made of tuffeau, arched and molded, opens onto a gravel courtyard that extends into a formal garden. The house is elevated over three levels, including an attic, and is built of rubble stone and tuffeau. The main wing is flanked by a square corner tower and a square façade tower that houses the staircase. The front façade is extended by a loggia that is accessed from the courtyard via a schist stone staircase with a solid tuffeau railing. A bread oven is backed against the west gable. The arrangement of the roofs, all slate, is remarkable: a single slope supported by a detached tuffeau column for the loggia, a double slope pierced with dormers for the main body of the house, a triple slope for the bread oven, and a four-slope design for the two towers. Impressive tuffeau gargoyles, depicting a griffin at the back and a reclining dog at the front, extend the decorative features of the west gable. The courtyard also distributes an outbuilding that serves as a garage, one of the two guest houses, and an entrance pavilion near the pedestrian door. At the back of the formal garden stands the second guest house with a washhouse on one side, and on the other side, a covered area with a workshop. Beyond that, the park borders the surrounding countryside. At the back of the outbuilding, two terraced levels separated by a wall run along the courtyard and the formal garden. They are both connected to the lane. Stables and a greenhouse are located on the upper terrace. The property is enclosed by walls except for the part facing the countryside. All the buildings have undergone extensive restoration work, and some are labeled by the Heritage Foundation.
