Manoir de la Taille stands in Bondaroy (Loiret), in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 14th century, 16th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

In Bondaroy, near Pithiviers, this fortified manor in the Beauce region bears the marks of several centuries of alterations, from its feudal origins in the 14th century to the farm buildings added in the late 19th century. Visitors can see an entrance gatehouse raised in the 16th century by the poet Jean de La Taille, square defensive towers and an older turret, the only remnant of the original stronghold. The whole reflects rural architecture designed above all to protect harvests, as much as people, from the turmoil of the Hundred Years' War and later the Wars of Religion.
