In Fontaine-Française, in the Côte-d'Or region, stands a château whose classical appearance conceals a military past: beneath its 18th-century façades lie remnants of a fortress first built in the 13th century. The site was reshaped during the Renaissance under Cardinal de Givry, before the Bollioud de Saint-Julien family turned it into a pleasure residence in the mid-1700s. The grounds, laid out as a formal park lined with centuries-old lime trees, surround a building listed as a historic monument.
