Two drives lead to a carriage entrance topped with a pediment that opens onto a grand courtyard. On one side, is the chateau and, on the other, an immense outbuilding, both façades of which are punctuated by pruned yew trees, while a covered well is located in the centre. The current chateau corresponds to the former abbatial dwelling: this is where the Abbot resided, in the western wing of the abbey that once stood here. During the 18th century, the court was at Versailles and the buildings were spruced up and converted so they could be rented out, therefore providing the abbey with some revenue. With three storeys, including an attic level, the chateau is made out of plaster-coated stone and rubble stone. On the side facing the grounds, its slate hipped roof is cadenced by four bull’s-eye windows, while, on the side facing the courtyard, there are three attic dormer windows grouped together under a single pediment in addition to four other dormer windows. Both the chateau’s east and west exteriors are crowned with a pediment on their roofs, which is then repeated above the central entrance on each side.
With window and door surrounds decorated with smooth rusticated stonework, the three doors on the chateau’s façade are topped with either curvilinear or triangular pediments, while its quoins, cornice and dormer windows are made out of ashlar stone.
Inside, the chateau has conserved its original décor: cartouches, medallions, chimneybreasts, decorative window and door surrounds, wood panelling, marble and stone, while the size of the magnificent rooms as well as their floor-to-ceiling height add to the chateau’s overall grandeur.
In addition to the topiary garden on the chateau’s eastern side, there is also a dovecote, orchard, vegetable garden, ornamental trees and a stream, which is straddled by an old bridge flanked by the columns of an ancient carriage entrance. All around, the grounds are made up of pastures, tall trees and a small wood, while equestrian facilities have been created to the west of the outbuilding, on the side facing the grounds. These include wooden paddocks, a riding ring and an area for the horses to rest and relax.
The carriage entrance, the chateau’s exteriors as well as its entrance hall, vast living room, dining room and seven bedrooms are listed as national historical monuments as are the well and bridge, while the outbuilding’s exteriors and the dovecote are registered as regional historical monuments.

The Chateau

The ground floor
An entrance hall with a stone cabochon tile floor, which was once the entry to the cloisters, traverses the edifice at its centre and provides access to the living rooms on either side. Facing one another, are two large doors decorated with carved cartouches: one with a rococo-style foliage motif and the other with a medallion, in which a person in profile and their military accoutrements have been depicted, while opposite the front door, a fireplace is topped with a sculpted stone bust, various musical instruments and flowery garlands.
On one side of the entrance hall is a formal living room, illuminated by four windows, two to the east and two to the west, with all its original 18th-century décor intact. In this room, four doors face one another, decorated with stucco panels that display finely sculpted medallions, each depicting an allegory of the four seasons. The entire room is rococo in style and decorated with wood panelling in shades of grey as well as a stone tile floor. Adjacent to this room is a smaller sitting room with a Louis XV wooden fireplace, wainscoting and a stone tile floor, which faces both the courtyard and grounds. Extending on from here, towards the grounds, is a bedroom with a vaulted ceiling, an office, wardrobe and bathroom, while, on the opposite side, towards the courtyard, the small sitting room opens onto a kitchen-dining room and a staircase that leads to the upper floors.
On the other side of the entrance hall, a dining room, accessible via a small vestibule and facing the grand courtyard, has its original Louis XV décor, which includes Solesmes black marble details, including a fountain, two sideboards under the windows and a fireplace, the latter of which is topped with a sculpted stone panel painted with a faux wood grain, as are the door frame and fruit basket décor atop the room’s main entrance and the head of Neptune above the fountain. On one side, the dining room leads to a 19th-century office with a marble fireplace and hardwood floors, which faces the grounds, while, on the other, a hallway, with a 17th-century staircase safeguarded by splendid square wooden balusters, provides access to a library, which was once the gatehouse to the former abbey. This floor also includes, in one of the right-angle wings, a former kitchen that has since been converted into a dining room with a terracotta tile floor and an immense fireplace that still contains its stone warming oven. Continuing on from here is a modern kitchen, several corridors, a small cellar and lavatory.
The first floor
The main staircase leads, on one side, to an initial gallery in the north wing, which provides access to a series of small suites, as well as a living room with wood panelling and its 18th-century fireplace, a bedroom and its wardrobe, a kitchen, bathroom and lavatory. On the other side of the staircase, the grand gallery spans the entire length of the chateau, is illuminated by six windows and provides access to seven bedrooms – four of which have their own bathroom and lavatory – decorated with wood panelling and fireplaces. Five of the bedrooms face the grand courtyard, whereas the other two are located in the southern wing and look out onto the grounds. In addition, this level also includes another bathroom, lavatory, laundry room and a staircase to the south that leads to the kitchen-dining room on the ground floor, while the main staircase continues its climb to the second floor located under the eaves.
