The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Le petit manoir se compose d'un bâtiment rectangulaire sur cave, dont la porte est accostée de pilastres soutenant un fronton triangulaire. Deux pavillons carrés accompagnent ce bâtiment principal. Un troisième fait saillie au milieu de la façade nord-est. Une légende inexacte voudrait qu'Agnès Sorel soit née dans le château qui précédait le manoir actuel.

History
The small manor consists of a rectangular building on a basement, whose door is flanked by pilasters supporting a triangular pediment. Two square pavilions accompany this main building. A third projects from the middle of the north-east façade. An inaccurate legend would have it that Agnès Sorel was born in the castle which preceded the present manor.
