Château de la Gataudière, 18th century heritage castle in Marennes, France.
The castle presents a central three-bay pavilion with pilasters, eleven bays, tall arched windows, and a triangular pediment adorning its symmetrical facade.
Engineer François Fresneau de la Gataudière built this castle in 1749 after returning from French Guiana, where he discovered the rubber tree in 1747.
The interior maintains original furniture from Louis XIII to Louis XV periods, with decorative elements representing the French architectural excellence of the 1700s.
The castle grounds include an adventure park offering activities such as tree climbing, paintball, quad biking, and outdoor laser games for visitors.
A Louis XIV fountain stands in the twenty-hectare park, which features in France's preliminary inventory of notable gardens.
