Description
This house, whose history dates back to the Middle Ages, is mentioned in old documents. In the 17th and 18th centuries, it became a leisure residence surrounded by forests, especially embellished in the 18th century. In 1801, General Augereau bought the estate and changed the interior decoration. During the interwar period, the place remains neglected, but from 1940, it was renovated by the industrialist Jacques Bellanger, who will welcome many artists.
