In Assigny, in the Cher department, the château de la Vallée stands with its main building flanked by two uneven wings, built at the end of the 16th century for Pierre du Houssay, a councillor at the Brittany parliament. Notable features include a round corner tower topped with a square upper level and two overhanging bretèches that give the building a defensive look. The place is thought to be among the sources of inspiration for the mysterious estate in Alain-Fournier's novel Le Grand Meaulnes. The outbuildings, which include stables and a dovecote, now house a riding centre and group accommodation.
