En un regard
Le château en bref
Château de Cabarot, in Saint-Geoire-en-Valdaine (Isère), is a former seventeenth-century Ursuline convent. It was bought in the nineteenth century by Alphonse Chaboud, a mayor and entrepreneur. His son-in-law, the painter and ceramicist Laurent Bouvier, retired there in 1881 and substantially remodelled the house, which later passed to the Depelley and Dugueyt families. Paul Dugueyt, deputy for Isère (1919–1924), laid out the park in the 1920s and 1930s. The west wing and the tower are in natural cement, and the roof is covered in yellow, black and red fish-scale tiles. The park contains sequoias, lime-tree avenues, a basin and mock Roman ruins. It is privately owned and is generally open to visitors during the Journées du patrimoine.
