The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Ancienne closerie ayant appartenu à différents maires de Tours. De plan carré, le château fut d'abord constitué par le grand pavillon et une aile qui lui fut contigüe à l'ouest et était élevée d'un étage sur rez-de-chaussée, avec comble. Au début du 19e siècle, cette aile fut prolongée dans sa longueur, et surélevée d'un étage. Une tourelle d'escalier et un avant-corps rectangulaire accompagnent ce pavillon, faisant saillie sur la façade est.

History
Former closerie having belonged to different mayors of Tours. Of square plan, the château was first constituted by the large pavilion and a wing which was contiguous to it on the west and was raised one storey above ground floor, with roof space. At the beginning of the 19th century, this wing was extended in length, and raised one storey higher. A stair turret and a rectangular avant-corps accompany this pavilion, projecting from the east façade.
