Saulzais-Le Potier

Saulzais-Le Potier is a small town south of St. Amand-Montrond. Chateau de la Lande, located there, was the home to the Marquis and Marquise de la Roche. Gramp visited them on several occasions and describes the chateau in one of his letters. We had the good fortune to meet the Marquis descendant, Charles de La Rochefoucault and get a tour of the chateau and grounds.
