In Blois, the Grand Apartments of a Renaissance palace. The building is one of the most remarkable private mansions of the Renaissance in the Loire Valley, built in the early 16th century on behalf of Florimond Robertet, financier and secretary to Louis XII and François I, one of the great political and cultural figures of the kingdom. Renowned for its elegant inner courtyard and its arcade galleries inspired by Italian architecture, this urban palace reflects the refinement of its time. The street façade, with its Gothic decoration in red brick and tuffeau, is a 19th-century reconstruction. It is directly inspired by the Louis XII wing of the Château de Blois. The façades of the courtyard, entirely made of cut stone, date from the 16th century. With their columns covered in scrollwork, their sculpted capitals, their terracotta medallions in the antique style, surrounded by thick garlands of fruit, the two levels of open galleries recall the most elegant cortiles of Italian palazzi. In the center of the courtyard once stood a bronze copy of Donatello's David, created by Michelangelo and presented to Florimond Robertet by the Republic of Florence during its embassy in 1505. Among the notable elements, the fleurs-de-lis, the ermines, and the Queen's cord signify the marriage of Louis XII and Anne of Brittany. The 'Grand Apartments' extend over two levels. On the ground floor, a large hall opens south onto the street and north onto the arcades. It is dominated by a monumental fireplace with a painted décor enhanced with gold, classified as a historical monument. On the noble floor, above the large hall, a main living area includes a large sitting room and two bedrooms. The building also has an old chapel and its vestibule, which have preserved their original sculpted paneling. Classified as a historical monument, this ensemble allows for the corresponding tax benefits. The property also includes a bicycle storage room, a cellar, and two parking spaces nearby.This description has been automatically translated from French.
