A FAMILY CASTLE

Small lounge
Dining room
The big sitting room
The furniture, paintings and carpets from the 18th century are in harmony with the original portraits of Mr Leprince Jean-Baptiste Jacques (1710-1781), Councillor and Secretary to the King, and his wife Marie Desportes, daughter of a forge master. One of their nine children, their son Jean-Baptiste Michel, inherited the castle and carried out most of the work, becoming mayor of Le Mans (1790-1791).
Grand piano.
The Small lounge
Former smoking and billiard room where dinner jackets and dainty pumps were de rigueur. A collection of animals from the high mountains (Himalayas, Pamir) and cold countries, none of which are endangered, reminds you that our planet contains wonders that we must preserve each in his own way.
The dining room
Candlelit or French-style lunches and dinners prepared and served by our catering partners on a table decorated for 12 to 22 settings. A beautiful collection of old earthenware, the Islettes plates, surrounds you as well as a listed Directoire stove.
