 FORMER GOVERNOR’S HOUSE Listed building - Early 18th century. 52000 LANGRES GPS : 47.8647,5.331599   Tel. : 03 25 87 67 67 Fax : 03 25 87 73 33 Mail : info@tourisme-langres.com Occupied from the 19th century by the military governor of the Place de Langres, this building displays a classic layout between the courtyard and the garden (now a car park). Its originality is in its particular treatment of the corners: systematically softened, they are rounded (on the street), or cut off (in the courtyard). The gateway giving on to the street, capped by an arch in the form of a basket handle, is still in the decorative tradition of the 17th century with its rounded modillions and its corners dressed with trophies. This elegant residential street (rue de la Tournelle) has the allure of the "petit Marais". There are, here, some splendid private classical houses of which the facades give little indication, but which show how much this street has been highly valued since the 16th century. Telephone mobile 03 25 87 67 67 Dates and Times of opening Free access all the year. Prices No admission charge. |
