How did a medieval fortress become one of Burgundy’s great pleasure châteaux?

Set in the Armançon Valley, Tanlay draws us into a dramatic chapter of French history. Beginning in 1559, François d’Andelot, one of the Protestant leaders of the French Wars of Religion, set out to build a new residence. His death brought the project to an abrupt halt.

Nearly a century later, the financier Michel Particelli d’Hémery acquired the estate and entrusted its completion to Pierre Le Muet. The architect rose to the challenge with remarkable skill, extending the Renaissance building without erasing its original design.

Gardens, a canal, painted interiors, a devastating fire, restorations, and generations of family ownership continued to shape this architectural adventure through the present day.

This new episode of Com d’Archi invites you to discover an exceptional château shaped by war, wealth, and the ambitions of those who lived there.
