Description:
Built in 1780, this residence is estimated to be "the purest witness of French architecture of the 18th century in Artois". Such a heritage deserved a classic environment and not, as it was in that case, small woods and overgrown meadows, all without flowers, hedges or alleys. A small wood was transformed into a park. A basin was restored. Paths with gravel were created and the garden was landscaped.
