It spans 5 floors (including the basement), and includes 1450 m2 of grand entrance halls, outstanding reception rooms, sumptuous bedroom suites, a vast recreation room, home offices, a Mexican-styled tavern, and a staff apartment. There are secret passages, dungeons, a watch tower, monumental fireplaces, parquet floors, marble bathrooms, a private chapel – the list is almost endless. Also owned at one time by a chamberlain of Napoleon, it is rumoured that Napoleon’s personal treasure is hidden somewhere on the premises.
