Chateau de Villersexel. Villersexel
Alas, the original building was destroyed by fire in 1871 – the first had, in fact, been home to Lafayette prior to his departure for America. That said, Chateau de Villersexel remains an attractive property, beautifully rebuilt in Louis XIII style. Indeed, it is said that Gustave Eiffel and Charles Garnier were the architects of the new chateau. But even the present day house has welcomed some notable historic figures: Charles de Gaulle and Winston Churchill are both former guests.
