Sights & sites
This Renaissance château was built in the 16th century in the village of Villars. Its architecture resembles that of many château in the Loire. It was built for Mondot de La Marthonie who was the first president of the Paris Parliament. Reasonably small in size, it was intended to be a second home where he could go hunting. The interior has been wonderfully restored and it still contains the original wooden timbers.
