To make a day of it
Château de la Faye stands in Villexavier (Charente-Maritime), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: third quarter of the 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
In Villexavier, in the Charente-Maritime, the château de la Faye is what remains of a residence built around 1666 on a U-shaped plan, whose central block and one wing were demolished in the 19th century. What can be seen today is the former right wing and its pavilion, with a low main building topped by tall dormer windows with scrolled sides and a curved pediment. The surviving rooms include panelled reception rooms in a row, lit from both sides and fitted with fireplaces.
