The history of France in collections...
The man who was nicknamed "the lame devil" was a shrewd collector, and as his career was very long, and through so many regimes, his collections are a real history book!
A book of history that he was able to make leaf through to many political personalities and French and foreign dignitaries, since, for several years, he led the diplomacy of France in these complicated periods...
Beyond the castle of Valençay itself, and its history, which you will easily find described everywhere, beyond the gardens, often described, it is this "collection" aspect that led me to draw your attention to the castle.
The Regency, Louis XVI and Empire furniture, set in remarkable rooms, describes the nuances of the art of living of this period, and I invite you to slip into it yourself, to imagine... An audio guide is available to help you live the events, to meet the inhabitants...
