A magnificent 24 Acre Setting
The area of the park immediately in front of the Chateau has been laid out in the Italian style with laurel groves, topiary, climbing roses, ponds surrounded by box hedges and even a large maze like those found in the gardens of Italian châteaux.
The 24 acre park has an incredible variety of ancient trees, which is rare in Charente-Maritime. You can wander in the shade of oak trees over 30 metres tall, of gingkos, cedars of Lebanon, ash trees, lime trees, maples, pines and palm trees.
Bordered by hedges and with numerous ponds, the park attracts a wide variety of animals and birds. If you look carefully you may be able to spot some of the 36 species of birds which have been reported in the park, a family of squirrels, hedgehogs, hares and, if you are very lucky, even some deers.
