In-Depth Information
The most impressive room is the
Council Chamber
, with its original maiolica-
tiled floor, plundered from a palace in Palermo, but the château's finest architecture
is arguably reserved for the
Écuries
(stables), built in 1877 to house the Broglies'
horses in truly sumptuous style (the thoroughbreds all had their own personal pad-
ded stalls). A collection of vintage carriages is now displayed inside.
