Background:<BR>
Castle built in the late fourteenth century by Louis of Orleans then dismantled in the seventeenth century. It was rebuilt by architect Eugène Viollet-Le-Duc for Napoleon III. The architect was able to express his art and sought to recreate the original castle, while creating an imperial home. This document, in which Napoleon II and the Empress Eugénie never resided, offers an architecture and décor that alone provide its interest value.
