This manor stands in the hamlet of Font Bruno, in Escoussens in the Tarn, on an estate whose origins trace back to Carthusian granges from the early 16th century. The building seen today actually dates from the early 19th century, though it was raised upon older foundations, as shown by a date of 1666 carved into its vaulted cellars. Its U-shaped layout, flanked by two square towers, opens onto a horseshoe-shaped outdoor staircase facing a small pond. A chapel dedicated to Notre-Dame, added in the late 18th century, completes the estate.
