The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Le château comprend un corps de logis central, dont le premier étage de la façade sud forme le rez-de-chaussée de la façade nord. Ce bâtiment central se développe entre deux pavillons plus élevés d'un étage, et dont celui du côté ouest est accompagné d'une aile en retour vers l'est. Une galerie couverte d'une terrasse réunie cette aile à la façade ouest du pavillon opposé. Une aile en retour d'équerre, vers l'est, et construite en retrait du pavillon Est, prolonge le château de ce côté. Des servitudes sont aménagées dans des galeries creusées dans le coteau limitant le cour au nord.

The château comprises a central main dwelling, whose first storey of the south façade forms the ground floor of the north façade. This central building develops between two pavilions raised one storey higher, that on the west side being accompanied by a wing in return towards the east. A covered gallery with a terrace unites this wing to the west façade of the opposite pavilion. A wing in return at right angles, towards the east, and built set back from the eastern pavilion, extends the château on this side. Outbuildings are fitted out in galleries cut into the hillside bounding the courtyard to the north.
