Step into Rosa Bonheur's world exactly as she left it in 1899, her paintbrushes still waiting on the easel. The pioneering 19th-century animal painter, first woman to win the Legion of Honor, bought this château with her own earnings and turned it into a creative sanctuary. Wander her light-filled studio, explore the gardens, and linger over madeleines in the charming tea room.

Step into the preserved world of Rosa Bonheur, the 19th-century painter who became the first woman to buy property in her own name through her art alone. Her studio feels frozen in time, her paintings still waiting, while tea and madeleines round out an afternoon in this historic estate.
