History

Built by

cour d'honneur. Behind, the central axis is extended between the former parterres, now mown hay. The park with formally shaped water was laid out by André Le Nôtre. There are sumptuous interiors. The small scale (compared to Vaux-le-Vicomte for example) makes it easier to compare it to the approximately contemporary Het Loo, for William III of Orange
.

The grande galerie was reconstructed for the amateur archaeologist and collector,

Ingres
' Age of Gold remains as testament to the abortive project of decorating it in fresco, not Ingres' habitual medium.

The park, which lost many trees in the

storm of 26 December 1999, offers a formal canal and an eighteenth-century garden folly.[2][3]
