A n interesting twist in castle design. Call it minimalist. It has been interpreted as a missile base, a collection of lighthouses, or even a giant Lego castle. But this is the real thing. The castle was built for Lancelot I, and his son Lancelot II had the gardens built. It remained in the family for 235 years. Unfortunately, the entire château ended up in a terrible state of disrepair with its ponds mostly filled in and its gardens overgrown until the City of Paris gave it to the regional government in the 1980's and it was restored. Today it is the home to a perfume museum that features many exhibits documenting the history of the toilet.

  • 1987 - The castle becomes property of the regional government.
  • 1988-1992 - The castle is renovated.
