Description
Building erected in 1729 by Jean Aubert, who was inspired by the drawings of Jacques-Jules Gabriel. The domain included a continuous speaker, a double hemicycle and two pavilions. The Honor Court dominated a farmyard in the west and a labyrinth to the east. The whole was embellished with kitchens and outbuildings on one side, and a small hotel on the other. In 1912, the site was partially destroyed.
