Tour

The staircase
The staircase is outstanding as it is one of the first straight -- or ramp on ramp - staircases built in France on the Italian model. It is covered by a raising vault with ribs cut at a right angle. The connecting joints are decorated with keys, the caissons with human figures, fruits and flowers (some patterns were hammered during the Revolution).
