History
Vast construction comprising a main building containing the reception apartments, preceded by a courtyard planted with trees, and a building in the form of a wing. Remains of outbuildings at the edge. Terraced gardens complete the whole. Below the Bishop's Palace, beneath a belvedere terrace, subsists a vaulted orangery of the 17th century. At the southern end of the great terrace, are seen the ruins of a chapel and buildings of the 17th century. The retaining walls of the various terraces are furnished with buttresses which may date from the end of the Middle Ages.
