Axial view of the Château of Richelieu
I found this nice picture on the blog site of the Château de Milly which is a few miles from Richelieu to the south, past Razines. It seems that when the agent Boutron scandalously demolished the castle he may have flogged some bits that reappered in the tower at Château de Milly. Remember the sculptures on the house in Richelieu that came from the same source, it is said.
Thanks to Sylvain for the information.
