Full Description
This exceptional property, formerly a hunting lodge of Gaston Fébus (1331-1391), was later, according to legend, the home of Jeanne d'Albret (1528-1572) and her son, the future Henry IV.
Over the years, the property was acquired by prominent French families (Maurice Escande, Cécile Sorel, etc.) who wished to live away from the limelight.

The recently restored tower is approximately 87 square meters. The windows are still single-glazed.
