Château de Jannée

About 18km/11mi north of Rochefort near the N4 stands the Château de Jannée surrounded by a fine game park. It can be traced back to a 12th C. defense building which about 1600 was enlarged, and extended in 1850 to its present size. Grouped around a large courtyard bordered by towers are new buildings and the farm buildings which are of older date. Visitors are conducted through the kitchen with its old utensils, the bedrooms and bathroom as well as several reception rooms on the ground floor, all tastefully furnished and containing fine Louis XV furniture and porcelain.
