A talk on the Château d’Alone-Toulongeon – of which Vergennes was the last owner before its destruction during the Revolution – by Bernard Gueugnon, treasurer of the Burgundy Centre for Castle Studies. A presentation on Alone-Toulongeon Castle, in the Autun region, of which only sections of the walls remain. The creation of a pond by the current owner has revealed the layout of the 12th-century fortress, which was regarded under the Ancien Régime as one of the finest in the region. This castle was home to a number of illustrious figures: Antoine II de Toulonjon, husband of Françoise de Rabutin-Chantal, daughter of Saint Jeanne de Chantal and aunt of the Marquise de Sévigné; Gabrielle de Toulonjon, wife of Roger de Bussy-Rabutin; and Charles Gravier de Vergennes, minister to Louis XVI.
