En un regard
Le château en bref
The Château de la Franceule, in Janzé (Ille-et-Vilaine), occupies the site of a priory first mentioned in the 12th century, a dependency of the priory of Béré and of the Abbey of Marmoutier, which became a manor house in the 16th century with a dovecote, chapel, farm and mill. The old building was demolished in 1905, and M. Hue had a new Neo-Louis XIII château built in brick and stone, with a symmetrical rectangular plan of three bays, a central projecting bay, a double-flight perron and a balcony. It was later occupied by the sisters of the Saint-Cyr community.
