Description
The magnificent Château of Dampierre was begun in 1550 by the Duc de Luynes and rebuilt between 1675 and 1683 by Jules Hardouin-Mansart.

Two gardens are to be found at this 17th C. house. The first is a design of the famous Andre Le Notre, and provides a central vista from the chateau that features wonderfully laid pools, parterres and lime alleys. The second garden is a very recent one, having been built in 1978, and is an attractive woodland garden.
