The Chateau goes back to the 15th Century but the present building goes back to just after the French Revolution.
We were lucky to have a lovely sunny day and to be taken round by the owner
who has lived there for over 50 years.

These two oak trees were planted together to mark a marriage.
Over the many years they have grown together to make one trunk. |

Beautiful photos Diane! This reminds me of a manoir in Ile-et-Vilaine where we were lucky enough to spend a year. You've inspired a blog post, which I've been sorely needing. I'm going on a little trip soon and if I can get pics of numbers, I'll let you know :)
