In 1833, Alexis de Tocqueville falls under the spell of uninhabited family castle for half a century. On the death of his mother, he gets it back to him rather than his brother Edward and moved there from 1836. His wife manages the development and restoration work. The avenue was planted in 1843, a basin dug in 1845 and an English garden created in 1856. This area allows it to start a political career in the English Channel in 1839.
In 1894, one deputy is a southern flag Renaissance.
