History
Built in 1569
This Italian Renaissance manor house consists of a main dwelling with a corner tower to the south and turrets to the north. Its facade is decorated with two series of superimposed cross windows, topped by triangular pediment dormers with geminated bays.
The sills of these dormers are decorated with sculpted escutcheons representing the coat of arms of the Jalesnes and Vendôme families.
This manor house has the particularity of having undergone practically no architectural modification since its construction. Most of the dwellings from this period were transformed into châteaux by their successive owners, each adding a decorative element or sacrificing to the fashion or modernity of the time.
Other buildings were transformed into farms, the conservation of the architectural heritage becoming quite secondary.
Thus, unlike many houses, the house survived the French Revolution without damage, even though the sculptures were often damaged and the woodwork burnt… Many doors dating from the time of its construction can be found in this house.

Virginie & Régis
A year after our marriage in 2002, we moved to this extraordinary place to succeed our parents and take care – in our turn – of this heritage. Our three children were born and raised here. Living in this place is a daily chance but also a real challenge and implies some sacrifices. We hope that one of our children will take over the house one day and continue this continuity for 7 generations.
