Valençay : Le Château Renaissance De Talleyrand
Auteur(s) : Anne Gérardot
Between Renaissance and Classicism, the unique architecture of Valençay, both majestic and harmonious, makes it one of the most beautiful Loire castles. Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord acquired it in 1803: seeking excellence in everything, he made this exceptional residence - which he endowed with a sumptuous collection of furniture and works of art - one of the high points of French art de vivre.
Through numerous photographs, this book examines what was one of the largest and richest estates in France, dedicated from the outset to the gentle way of life rather than to the arts of war.
