The little historic commune, the commerce of which was renowned as far as Spain in the 15th century, benefits from its proximity to Chantonnay for shops and amenities. The Viscount of Thouars had a castle built here in the 12th century, but only the tower is still in existence. Enclosed by a stone wall, the current building is surrounded by outbuildings comprising an orangery, guest pavilions and the old stables. This property has two main entrances. One opens on to one of the oldest streets in the town. The other leads from the main courtyard to the entrance porch way.

This is only one of the property’s buildings. Constructed under the Second Empire, in 1856, it spans approx. 650 m² of living space, a 200 m² basement and 100 m² of attic space awaiting conversion. There are ten bedrooms. The central section, spanning four levels over cellars, is flanked by two symmetrical, single-storey buildings, constructed outside the fabric of the carcass. Four turrets, with corbelling, elegantly enhance each corner of the masonry with their candlesnuffer roofs and their finials. The carcass is constructed from granite, dressed stone and quarry stone blocks. The traditional roofing framework, redone in 1990, is covered with natural slate. There are but few renovation works to be scheduled.

The parklands This chateau stands in the midst of wooded parklands, spanning more than 2 ha, enclosed by a stone perimeter wall protecting the property from onlookers. The driveway leads to the main courtyard as well as to miscellaneous outbuildings. An orangery stands on the right-hand side of the parklands. Constructed from stone and brick, this architecturally interesting building spans approx. 100 m². It awaits renovation and the upstairs could be converted into bedrooms. The old stable building is also outstanding. Spanning more than 200 m², it could be used for several rehabilitation projects such as holiday accommodation units, a bed & breakfast activity or even a function room. On the left-hand side of the parklands, concealed behind another stone wall, are two guest pavilions. The first, spanning approx. 70 m², comprises a living room on the ground floor, with a bedroom and a bathroom upstairs. The other forms a studio flat, with a kitchen and a shower room, spanning a total of approx. 35 m². Both these outbuildings have a view of the swimming pool and the Jacuzzi. The old kennel, in the midst of a variety of trees, is in a state of ruin.
