Château de Touffou

The Château de Touffou is a castle, converted into a château, in the commune of Bonnes 18 km east of Poitiers, 3 km north of Chauvigny in the Vienne department and on a long tall bank of the River Vienne, France.

Rather than defense and protection, the castle dwellers in the Renaissance strived for classy, fashionable residences.

Jean Chasteigner III, a Chamberlain to Francis I, oversaw most of the château's renovation in the early Renaissance.

Once the Chasteigners sold the château, Touffou changed hands several times, finally being purchased in 1966 by David Ogilvy from the "de Vergie family".

The château is still owned by the Ogilvy family, even after David's death in 1999.
