Interesting eye-catcher when you drive along the road. At first glance it reminds you a little of Pippi Longstocking

Château very representative of French classicism whose construction was completed in 1660 under the orders of François le Vau, architect of the King's buildings and member of the Royal Academy of Architecture. It is a private property which cannot be visited and is today in a worrying state of disrepair.
