Personalities of the Chartier and the manor :

The charters house was an important place, as it was here that the archives were kept.
Two personalities have a link with this building:

• Gilles de Gouberville •

A manuscript was discovered here in 1886. It contains his accounts and activities between 1549 and 1552.

• the Abbé de Saint Pierre •

a writer and diplomat, who in 1712 wrote a book entitled ' Project for perpetual peace in Europe ‘ . The 16th-century manor house, on the remains of which the charterhouse is built, must have been the birthplace of the Abbé de Saint Pierre, and must have welcomed him on numerous occasions.

Today, you can enjoy the hospitality of this building and be inspired by these illustrious figures. May your stay here be pleasant and soothing.
