History
The logis dates from the time of Henri IV. It is a building in length, terminated at the north extremity by a square pavilion with a roof pierced by dormers with oculi, and interrupted in its centre by a pavilion with a rounded roof. The base of the building is built in large ashlar. Above the ashlar is found an almost regular rubble stone. At the centre, a dome in large ashlar covers the entrance of the building.
