En un regard
Le château en bref
La Fouchardière, in Sillars (Vienne), is a former estate first documented in the 13th–14th centuries, long managed by the families de Savatte and then Coral before being sold as national property during the Revolution. In 1850, General Ladmirault, senator for the Vienne, acquired it and, rather than restoring the old château, had a new château built and consolidated around 350 hectares. After his death in 1898, his daughter managed the estate until 1930; divided in 1949, it passed notably to the Comte de Brosse, then to M. Bozzi, and fell into disrepair before being acquired in 1960 by M. Forestier, who set about restoring it.
