Surrounded by walls on all sides, this bourgeois house with turret opens onto a courtyard with flowerbeds at the entrance and, at the rear, onto vast parklands that exude a sense of calm and serenity: a haven of peace conducive to meditation. It's hardly surprising! It was built around 1634 by Jean de Regny, a canon from Langres, on land that was available at the time, which was highly fertile and ideal for growing vines. The house was originally topped by a rather elegant turret that served as a staircase to the first floor. One of the walls of this turret bore the owner's coat of arms. This coat of arms was probably destroyed during the Revolution and the turret was lowered to the level of the rest of the house due to a construction fault. Against the wall of the Pasquier house, in the barn that was demolished, a small chapel had been built, probably for the use of the canon who owned the property. A curious little ogival credence table can still be seen.
Not open to the public: this private site is only visible from the outside.
