The Château de Clermont, built between 1643 and 1649, is located in the commune of Le Cellier, 27 kilometres (17 mi) from Nantes in France. It was owned by the Maupassant family before becoming the property of the actor Louis de Funès. ==Appearance and architecture== The appearance of the château has remained broadly the same since its construction at the time of the regency of Anne of Austria during the minority of Louis XIV. Its southern aspect, which overlooks the River Loire offers a panoramic view over the Pays des Mauges and the Pays de Retz. The northern aspect has a shaded avenue perpendicular to the Paris-Nantes road framed by the original wings of the château. It is surrounded by 3 hectares (7.4 acres) of parkland and a vineyard of 17 hectares (42 acres). Louis de Funès had a rose garden planted, but nothing remains of it today. Château de Clermont shows three major characteristics of the Louis XIII style: * pink bricks and masonry which softens the formal lines of the layout * distinctive and unique slate roofs of various of the main buildings * the central part of the building being used to house the main staircase and dominating the surrounding construction. The large avenue crosses two moats and brings visitors in the central courtyard flanked by the wings. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Château de Clermont」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
