Suite Polignac
The Polignac Suite is representative of the Restoration period (1815-1830), following the fall of the Empire and preceding the Revolution of 1830.
It is named for the Polignac family, a family which played a prominent role in French history. The Polignac family are friends of our family. The Restoration is a time when members of the Kergorlay family, two brothers, Louis-Gabriel and Florian de Kergorlay, were very involved in politics, both becoming Peers of France. Florian was an uncompromising legitimist, dubbed “the strict voice.” He was the father of Louis de Kergorlay, close friend of Alexis de Tocqueville. The Polignac suite, with its period furniture and fabric, is an accurate representation of rooms of that time. The room is on the ground floor, overlooking the pond. With its two bathrooms, also overlooking the pond, it is a gorgeous room full of comfort, charm, and authenticity.
