The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
La seigneurie de Laleu dépendait de l'abbaye de Marmoutier et était au départ habitée par des moines. Le mur de façade est flanqué de deux tours d'angle circulaires, percées de meurtrières. Entre les tours se trouve le pignon du logis, la chapelle et le porche d'entrée. Des interventions au 18e siècle ont fait disparaître certains éléments médiévaux (fenêtres à meneaux, démolition de deux tours...). Selon la tradition, Jeanne d'Arc y aurait séjourné le 24 avril 1429, en se rendant d'Amboise à Blois.

History
The seigneury of Laleu was dependent on the abbey of Marmoutier and was initially inhabited by monks. The façade wall is flanked by two circular corner towers, pierced with loopholes. Between the towers is found the gable of the main dwelling, the chapel and the entrance porch. Interventions in the 18th century caused certain medieval elements to disappear (mullioned windows, demolition of two towers...). According to tradition, Joan of Arc would have stayed there on 24 April 1429, while travelling from Amboise to Blois.
