It restores the castle at great expense and it installed a theater, fireplaces and Venetian balconies, and it adorns the garden of Italian statues now kept in Villarceaux. Three years after his disappearance, the family of Villefranche Tulle becomes the owner of the castle and the rest until 2003, when the Coutau-Bégarie family succeeds them.

A portrait of Louis XVIII in his coronation robes, is present in the castle walls.

They offer a particularly successful example of Italian garden.
