château des Périchons
old fief of father lachaise’s family,
Located in the Loire department, at the heart of the Forez plain, the Château des Périchons is a beautiful architectural ensemble that reflects the splendor of the Age of Enlightenment. Far from the medieval fortified castles, it was conceived from the outset as a grand reception residence, set within a large agricultural and forested estate that offers visitors both tranquility and a change of scenery.
Currently inhabited by two branches of the same family who acquired it in 1936, only a portion of the château is open to the public. Comprising a main building flanked by two square towers and lateral pavilions enclosing the courtyard of honor, the château welcomes passing guests in its north wing, specially renovated for this purpose.
Elevated to the status of an imperial barony by Napoleon I, the estate once included several grain mills and remarkable gardens reminiscent of those still admired at Versailles or Vaux-le-Vicomte. Several ponds provide opportunities to observe abundant migratory birdlife and to fish for carp. This natural jewel is bordered by a river with rich, pure waters: the Lignon.
