En un regard
Le château en bref
The Château de Villeprévost, at Tillay-le-Péneux (Eure-et-Loir), is an 18th-century Beauce gentilhommière, elegant without ostentation. A rural manor house from the 16th century onwards (the Ramezay family), it was acquired in 1696 by Pierre Le Juge, conseiller du roi, and later remodelled by his son Charles Le Juge, who had built, between 1756 and 1760, the two cross-wings, the outbuildings, the orangery and the bakehouse, as well as a French formal garden designed by a pupil of Le Nôtre. A chapel was added in 1873 as an ex-voto after the Franco-Prussian War. Owned by the Fougeron family since 1784, still lived in by its descendants, the château retains a dovecote with 970 nesting boxes and opens its doors in summer (1 July–15 August) and during the Journées du patrimoine, by reservation only.
