The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Le nom de Chantecaille apparaît pour la première fois en 1409, et devait dès l'origine être une dépendance de Talcy. L'ensemble est construit au 15e siècle pour être une ferme. Au 17e siècle, la maison fut agrandie et couverte en ardoises. Le bâtiment central est surélevé, les ouvertures du corps de logis principal et des constructions annexes sont modifiées. L'aménagement du jardin et des terrasses datent de cette époque.

The name Chantecaille appears for the first time in 1409, and must from the outset have been a dependency of Talcy. The whole was built in the 15th century to be a farm. In the 17th century, the house was enlarged and covered with slates. The central building is raised, the openings of the main dwelling and of the ancillary constructions are modified. The layout of the garden and terraces dates from this period.
