Parks & Gardens

Situated on a headland, this chateau brings together medieval and Renaissance architecture, and its 19th century neo-medieval extensions, in a beautiful landscaped park (200 hectares).

A feudal monument with original defensive features: moat, turrets, arrow slits, posterns... Vivid images of history…

It is inside the walls of this 17th-century castle that interrogations took place of the 300 bandits in the "Chauffeurs d'Orgères" gang in 1798. The dovecote is home to the masks of those condemned to death.

In the old classrooms you can discover a rare collection of objects and documents retracing the almost 1000 year-old history of the Abbaye de Tiron, the establishment of the college and the creation of twelve French Royal and military colleges.

Set around one of France's oldest farms (12th century), mediaeval gardens take us back into the spirituality and scents of the Middle Ages.

Park with beautiful gardens and play area.
