History: The chateau is made up of three houses dating from the 15th and
18th centuries:
- The Maison de l'Ermite: François de Paule, a Calabrian hermit came to
Amboise at the request of Louis XI and founded the congregation of the Minimes
in the 15th century. The present house is built on the foundations of the old
convent.
- The Maison du Duc was given by Louis XV to Etienne François Duc de
Choiseul, the Minister of Finance and the Army before he, having become rich and
important, built a "little Versailles": the Château de Chanteloup, a short
distance away.
- The Maison de l'Apothicaire in which Jehan de Gastignon, herbalist to
Charles VII and Francis 1st, prepared creams and unguents for the ladies of the
court. He was given a large part of the property, including the cellars and
several "Granaries" which border the back of the estate, by the King. The
granaries include 3 rooms, one of which is 90 metres long and 4 silos 4 metres
long with double walls which were used to store wheat. They were used as "Tithe
Barns". Before the French Revolution, a tenth of the harvest was paid over to
the church or the local lord.
