Enter the park of Les Vieux Murs through a wrought iron gate - the owners will let you in when you ring the bell - and proceed up the winding driveway to a place where you can park your car only steps away from the manor house. Behind the château and up a small hill is the property boundary, the entire length of which is closed in by a high wall. This provides privacy and security for the château, its owners and guests. |

The name of the manor is derived from the remains of Medieval stone walls that can be found on the estate. At one time, this row of secondary protective walls of Souvigny crossed the property from north to south. Today, the walls shown in this photo are some of what can still be found at Les Vieux Murs. |

Green is the predominant color of the estate in the spring and summer months. Fine specimen trees can be found throughout the five acres and they include maple, umbrella pine, ginkgobiloba, juniper, tulip trees from Virginia, Sequoia, American walnut, birch, ash, and many others. In the autumn, the estate is a riot of yellows, golds, oranges and reds. |
