An authentic 17th century suite

An authentic 17th century suite. When you walk through the doors of the Parade room, you are transported into the “great century”. Here the decorations all in purple red and gilding embody this period of splendour, personified by the reign of the “Roi soleil”, Louis XIV, whose portrait you can see with Marie Thérèse and the Dauphin. Edmond De Fieu, then owner, wanted to modernize the chateau and being very well placed at the Court, he had the means to richly adorn his room, hence the name chambre de Parade (Parade’s room), the original canopy bed, nestled in a small alcove, offered a remarkable view of the magnificent fireplace finely decorated with above, a painting painted on wood representing Aeneas carrying his father Anchise during the fall of Troy. Then, while walking around the room, you can discover all the many details that make up the decoration of this room: the recently restored door tops, the tapestry, the ornaments, the canvas on the ceiling of the alcove “l’Aurore” representing Apollo on his chariot, as well as many other features that reflect the 17th century Art de vivre.
