The 2024 Heritage Days program at Château de Plaisir (78)

• Château de Plaisir
  Saturday, September 21, 2:00 p.m.
  

  Built in the 17th century and remodeled in the 18th, Château de Plaisir is a listed historic monument, along with its grounds and outbuildings (facades and roofs). Although the interior of the château has been completely remodeled, it has retained its 16th-century architectural appearance, set in the middle of a classical garden whose layout can still be seen today.
  The first mention of a "hostel located in Plaisir" dates back to the Middle Ages, during the Hundred Years' War. However, the present château was built under Louis XIII. At the time, it belonged to a large family of King's advisors (Le Tellier), before becoming an important agricultural estate. Today, it houses the Château media library and the town's cultural services.
