Today, the site is for sale. It is hoped that the buyers will commit to maintain this work of Art as it deserves, keep the place alive, and develop its potential as the family are not able to do so under the present circumstances.
The registration as "Historical Monument" will allow future owners to benefit from subsidies for the renovation and other tax benefits.
The association is already planning to acquire the place and conduct a long-term cultural project to develop its artistic, cultural and social potential, a project which can be achieved with the help of one or more donors and support of the many visitors who come to see this site, recognized by Mr F.Mitterand as "a work of Art which no doubt contributes to the artistic and cultural wealth of the french heritage"
