Château de Talcy

Visit this agrarian castle, built in the XVIth century, and follow the footsteps of the poets he inspired. Erected in 1520 for an Italian banker, Bernard Salviati, this castle stayed truth to local architecture. Wells, service quarters with a press and a dovecote, and a garden redeveloped as a conservatory orchard are elements of an agricultural property. Ronsard felt in love with Cassandre, Salviati’s daughter, who inspired him the famous poem “Mignonne, allons voir…”. The house kept its XVIIIth century furniture. Centre des monuments nationaux, a national public institution, opens to public and runs the Chateau de Talcy.
