Thaumassière townhouse's funny stones

Town house Thaumassière townhouse

This house was raised in the 15th century by César de La Thaumassière, king of France Henri III’s doctor.

His son was born here, in 1631: Gaspard, a famous historian...

This house really looks like a small castle, with its court full of wisteria (planted in the beginning of the 20th c.).

On the front, we can see the family’s coat of arms, and a funny little detail: a stone coming from the Parisian former fortress of La Bastille, destroyed in 1789 during the French Revolution!

Now, look at the roof: funny sculptures are looking at us.

A musician and boozers sleeping on their mugs... Sancerre is the city of wine, after all!
