Rooms & Suites in the Chateau de Canisy

Suite Polignac
The Polignac Suite is representative of the Restoration period (1815-1830), following the fall of the Empire and preceding the Revolution of 1830. It is named for the Polignac family, a family which played a prominent role in French history. The Polignac family are friends of family. The Restoration is a time when members of the Kergorlay family, two brothers, Louis-Gabriel and Florian de Kergorlay, were very involved in politics, both becoming Peers of France. Florian was an uncompromising legitimist, dubbed “the strict voice.” He was the father of Louis de Kergorlay, close friend of Alexis de Tocqueville. The Polignac suite, with its period furniture and fabric, is an accurate representation of rooms of that time. The room is on the ground floor, overlooking the pond. With its two bathrooms, also overlooking the pond, it is a gorgeous room full of comfort, charm, and authenticity.

Suite Faudoas
This suite is situated on the ground floor with a view on the pond. The main room has been redecorated with a Pierre Frey fabric. The suite’s theme, and its colors pink and cream, match the antique wallpaper which has been preserved in the small adjoining room. This room is named in honor of the young Eleonore de Faudoas, friend of Charlotte Corday. Eleonore was arrested at Canisy on June 15, 1794 with her father and her aunt and guillotined on July 14 (13 days before the 9 Thermidore) because she had had the bad idea of writing to her sister Justine “my little dog Jacobine just gave birth to five little Jacobins”, showing that during certain periods of history humor must be dealt with cautiously... To complete the picture this room used to have a “wooden shoe bathtub,” an exact replica of the one in which Marat was killed by Charlotte Corday. But because such a bathtub is uncomfortable we decided to replace it with a beautiful copper bathtub made in the artisinal workshops of Villedieu les Poeles.

Chambre de la Tour
The Tower Room, on the ground floor, is a very romantic room with a view on the two ponds. Its decorations and furnishings are mainly representative of the 18th century. The bathroom, one of the first installed in the chateau at the end of the 19th century remains as it was then. It is thus naturally retro! (Queen size bed.)

Suite l’Academicien
So named because this room has for a long time been the favorite of the academician Pierre-Jean Remy, great long-time friend of Canisy and the writer of a wonderful article about Canisy. You can read his article in the section “livre d’or,” the golden book. This is a very beautiful suite, and like the Louis XVI room and the Empire Room, is situated in the grand gallery with a view on the gallery’s grand perspective. The paintings and furnishings give the room the complete atmosphere of the 18th century. The bathroom is one of the first redecorations of my wife Marie-Christine who wished to introduce a little more baroque style in the chateau, which she had found up to that point ... too formal!

Chambre Louis XVI
Situated on the grand gallery of the Renaissance wing, you reach it by the stairway of honor constructed in 1588 by the architect Francois Gabriel. And by the grand gallery of Ladies. The height of the ceiling gives the room a spacious feeling, a feeling further confirmed by the huge king size bed, created by joining two beds of the Louis XVI period. All the furniture and pictures are from the period and several portraits of Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette fit naturally in this beautiful room. Among these portraits is a reproduction of the famous portrait of Marie-Antoinette at the Conciergerie peinted by Kucharski (then at the “garde national”), an original of which my family has kept because of our common line of descendence (on my mother’s side) with the great Malesherbes, the courageous defender of the philosophers of the 18th Century Enlightenment in France, against the king, then defender of King Louis XVI against the revolutionaries (for which he was guillotined). The pretty retro bathroom occupies a space which was formerly intended to be the W. C. for this room but was always used as a reception room . The wallpaper with 18th century motifs is especially luminous and the room gives an impression of sweet nostalgia.

Chambre Empire
The Empire Room is a faithful representation of a room of the First Empire (1804-1814), and its spectacular bathroom is a reproduction of the one in the mansion of Josephine of Beauharnais —wife of Napoleon Bonaparte. This careful attention was worth it because the family of Marie-Christine de Kergorlay, nee de Percin, originally came from Martinique and was related to the family of Josephine de Beauharnais. The choice of the wall paper (with bees on a white background) and of the fabrics conforms perfectly to the standards of the time. All the furniture is from the Empire period. The Empire Room is situated, like the Louis XVI Room and the Academician’s Suite, on the second floor of the Renaissance wing, and opens onto the grand gallery with a view on the grand perspective of the chateau.

Chambre Années 90
"La Chambre Années 90" epitomises perfectly the minimalist and bald of the 90's. A spectacular bathroom all furnished with marble, no bathtub, only an immense shower...At present this bathroom is completed, but the room is still decorated in a 18th century style. The modern decoration will take place later on.

Chambre Années 30
And since the 20th century belongs to history now, two rooms have been newly decorated representing this past century. La "chambre 1930" with its spectacular Art Deco bathroom - replica of the existing bathroom at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Paris created for the venue of the King of England in the thirtie's - will represent "les années art deco". This room will be an evidence of that unusual period as far as architecture and design are concerned.
