Former seigneury of the Bochart de Champigny, this estate is a testimony to French astronomy of the 17th and 18th centuries, having welcomed figures such as Jean Bochart de Saron and Charles Messier. Mentioned in the archives of the Academy of Sciences, this place has witnessed major astronomical discoveries, such as the observation of the transit of Venus in 1769 and the determination of the trajectory of Uranus in 1781. The castle is surrounded by a 2-hectare walled park, embellished with hundred-year-old trees, lime trees and two-hundred-year-old boxwood, as well as a majestic three-hundred-year-old plane tree. A courtyard and a garden with a wrought iron gate open onto the village. The park, with a slight slope, includes a lake, an outdoor swimming pool and a small greenhouse, offering a picturesque and soothing perspective. Architecture and Interior: Built in 1560 with wings added in 1750, the castle features a homogeneous 18th-century architecture. Facing south, it extends over four levels and has Mansard roofs covered with slates. The facades are decorated with ashlar and brick quoins framing tall small-paned windows. - Ground floor: The main entrance opens onto a large hall with Versailles parquet flooring and oak staircase. The large living room, facing south, offers a breathtaking view of the park and the pond. Period woodwork, fireplaces decorated with trumeaux mirrors and floors in cabochon paving or Versailles parquet decorate the rooms. - First floor: A large landing leads to several bedrooms with refined woodwork, marble fireplaces, and 18th century windows.
