Built during the Hundred Years' War, the Chateau d'Artigny formed part of the
defence system constructed along the Indre River around the Montbazon keep. On
30th July 1912, Joseph Spoturno, known as François Coty, the famous perfume
maker, bought the chateau. Attracted by the site, he had the chateau, which was
in a rather "patchwork" architectural style, demolished, in order to build the
present chateau in a pure 18th century style. Building lasted from 1912 to 1929.
At his death in 1934, the chateau was sequestered at the demand of his many
creditors. In 1940, the chateau was occupied successively by the Headquarters of
the Ministry of the Navy, by German troops up to 1942 and by an Annex of the
General Hospital of Tours. Finally, it became a temporary hospital once again
until 1946. When the perfume maker's daughter inherited it in 1947, several
offers to purchase were made to her. Ultimately, it was Mr. René Traversac who
acquired it in 1959 in order to transform the chateau into a luxury hotel. The
Chateau d'Artigny has welcomed a number of eminent people, such as the Queen
Mother of England and the Negus of Ethiopia in 1963. On 24th November 1973, the
"International Monetary Conference" brought together at Artigny the Finance
Ministers of the five greatest world powers (including V. Giscard d'Estaing) |
