Indeed, this castle houses a legendary recording studio which had its heyday in the 70s and 80s. Founded in 1969 by Michel Magne, a key composer of film music from the 60s/70s (he notably composed the music for Tontons flingueurs, Angélique, Fantomas and OSS 117), the castle offered for the first time at the time a residential studio offering room and board to artists who could thus take the time to record their album in the heart of the peaceful countryside of the French Vexin.

David Bowie, Elton John, Pink Floyd, Jacques Higelin, Iggy Pop, The Bee Gees, Claude Nougaro, Eddy Mitchell, Cat Stevens, T Rex, Fleetwood Mac, Marvin Gaye, Bernard Lavilliers, and many others recorded here.
