Program

Bringing the entire estate (already converted into an nursing home) up to standard (fire safety and accessibility for people with reduced mobility).

“Le Château” includes lounges for residents and families, rooms and offices for staff, carers and administrators, and a large rest room on the top floor. In the building corresponding to the former stables, the interior layout has been completely redesigned and offers residents common rooms overlooking the park, bright and spacious rooms served by colour-coded corridors for easy identification. The project also includes the upgrading of floors and major structural repairs. An annex building contains a boiler room and a laundry.

The residence is situated in the middle of a sixteen hectare park crossed by the river Ysieux.  It includes an 18th century mansion, a castle, former stables and several outbuildings linked by covered passages. The entire site is listed as a landscape monument.
