Note 3 — PRISON LIFE DURING THE FRENCH REVOLUTION. WRITTEN IN 1801, THE YEAR IX. OF THE REPUBLIC.
Martha Ward Carey translation
This 'little château,' dated from the sixteenth century, is one of the finest specimens of Renaissance architecture in existence, and was included in the gift of the Duc d'Aumale to the French nation (1886). The Grand Château, where Condé had spent twenty years of his life, and which was so famous for its literary associations with the names of Molière, Boileau, Racine, and La Fontaine, was destroyed in 1793.—Translater.
