History+

The origins of Château d'Artigny date back to the Hundred Years' War, when it was built as an advanced outpost around the keep of Montbazon and integrated into the defense line along the Indre. In 1769, the then owner, Joseph Testard de Bouranis, royal treasurer, had the original structure demolished and replaced with his private residence. This residence survived the Revolution and was modified in the 19th century. In 1912, the perfumer and media magnate François Coty acquired the estate. He had it demolished and rebuilt between 1919 and 1928 on a new site, twelve meters away.
