As part of Heritage Days, Isabelle Favre, owner of the La Roche Thévenin estate, opened her property to the public. She allowed visitors to discover both the exterior and interior of her residence.
"Traces of this ancient 5,000-hectare barony can be found as early as 1411," explains Isabelle Favre. This fiefdom was then called La Roche Brisard, after its former lords.
It was in 1515 that it became the property of the Thévenins, one of the most notable and oldest families in the Barony of Montaigu. Nine generations of Thévenins have succeeded one another.
The Château de La Roche Thévenin burned during the Revolution. The plane trees, cedars, and magnolias date from that time, in 1887, when the Abbot of Meslay purchased this house for sick priests. Another owner of the property is the sculptor Grootaers, who is responsible for the fountain in the Place Royale in Nantes and some of his sculptures, which led to the estate being listed as a Historic Monument.
Isabelle Favre and her husband purchased this property in 1984. But their love at first sight quickly turned into a nightmare: the building, hidden by lush vegetation, required extensive renovations.
Twenty-eight years of work revealed, beneath the cement slabs, terracotta mosaics, a granite staircase with arrow slits, the Thévenin coat of arms on a doorframe, and a Stations of the Cross hidden in a chapel converted into a hayloft.
