In Saint-Jean-de-Beauregard, in the Essonne department, this brick and sandstone château built around 1630 overlooks the wooded valley of the Salmouille river. What draws visitors here is as much the surrounding estate as the building itself: outbuildings, a dovecote, a kitchen garden and a park form a coherent agricultural ensemble dating back to the Grand Siècle, restored in the 18th century by Laurent II Charron. The estate, still a family home, is visited for its classical architecture as well as its gardens, including an ornamental kitchen garden in the French style.
