Description

Château de La Tour d �Aigues � Vaucluse - France C'est au XVIe siècle que Jean-Louis Nicolas de Bouliers copia les Châteaux Renaissance du Val de Loire et de l'Ile de France, et fit les transformations et agrandissements d�un vieux château médiéval. Au cours des siècles, sous différents propriétaires, le château fut embelli intérieurement, et extérieurement: orangeraie, jardins en terrasses. Le dernier propriétaire, Jean-Baptiste Jérôme de Bruny en fit un centre culturel que les connaisseurs et érudits venaient visiter. Un incendie accidentel en 1780 et la révolution en 1792 ruinèrent l'édifice qui servit ensuite de carrière jusqu'à ce que le Conseil Général du Vaucluse s'en porte acquéreur à la fin du XIXe siècle. It is for the XVIth century when Jean-Louis Nicolas de Bouliers copied the Renaissance castles of the Val de Loire and the surrounding area, and made the transformations and the increases of an old medieval castle. During the centuries, under various owners, the castle was embellished inside, and outside: orange grove, gardens in terraces. The last owner, Jean-Baptiste Jérome de Bruny made a cultural centre which the connoisseurs and the scholars came to visit. An accidental fire in 1780 and the revolution in 1792 ruined the building which served then as quarry until the General Council of Vaucluse goes buyer at the end of the XIXth century. °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° Thanks for comments - Commentaires appréciés

Est-ce qu'il y a un rapport quelconque avec Aigues Mortes? Bon on est un peu loin de la camargue mais les similitudes de nom et de style de construction sont intriguantes. L'archi, peut-re! Par contre, le mange avec le style renaissance, c'est pas banal et on trouve pas Aigues Mortes. Beauti-foule!
