Nestled on the banks of the Eure River, the Château de Maintenon boasts a history that long predates the arrival of its most famous resident, the Marquise. From the medieval fortress of the Amaury family to the Renaissance residence crafted by Jean Cottereau, treasurer to Louis XII, the estate has seen transformations, financial turmoil, and architectural renewal. Drawing on archival records, recent excavations that uncovered the true date of the square tower, and the moving testimony of the Raindre couple — the château’s last private heirs — this episode delves into the art of stewarding a demanding heritage. A chronicle where bravery, memory, and stone are inextricably intertwined.
