Petit Logis
Probably built in the 17th century on a former hospital site that was later used for the Jeu de Paume, this bourgeois residence was purchased in 1766 by the Count of Courtanvaux. It's a substantial building comprising a cellar, lower hall, bedrooms, anterooms and chambers, kitchen, attic and keep. We can assume that it was in fact the fortified construction of the Fontenilles gate, to which it seemed to be attached. The originality of this house lies in its particular shape, composed of two "C "s joined at the back.
Presentation and history of Tonnerre
