The castle was inhabited by prominent figures such as Madame de Sévigné's brother-in-law, François de Grignan and the Admiral de Entrecasteaux, who had been ordered by Louis XVI to search for the Count La Pérouse, a French naval officer and explorer whose expedition disappeared in Oceania. .
After being neglected for a few years, the castle has been beautifully restored and now houses a museum. Thanks to British painter Hugh Ian Macgarvie-Munn, the castle is now a historic landmark.
