En un regard
Le château en bref
Château du Bois-Guy, in Parigné, was built in the seventeenth century on the site of a fifteenth-century manor house. Flanked by a tower at each corner of the front façade and fitted at the rear with a square turret housing a granite staircase, it successively belonged to the Pichot family (fourteenth century), the de Gaullaye family (from 1513), and then the Picquet family (from 1703). Aimé Picquet du Bois-Guy, a royalist allied with the chouans, made it his base of operations during the Revolution. Sold after 1802 and converted into a farm, the château fell into disrepair before being bought back and restored in 1994; since 2009, it has operated as a hotel-restaurant with seminar rooms and a golf practice area.
