Excerpt from Gabrielle D'estrées

Renaissance. The work was begun in 1520, the year in which the King began the building of Chambord and saint-germain. Although it had not the splendour and importance of these palaces, Marie Gandin's chateau was a building well worthy of notice, especially for the delicate ornamentation on the windows at the front of the house, round which were carved in relief innumerable letter F's.

It was some years later demolished by the Duc de Choiseul, and the material used in the construction of the pagoda of Chanteloup.

Excerpt from Gabrielle D'estrées

Whether Gabrielle was born in Touraine or in Picardy, and what was the year of her birth, are questions which are difficult to answer with certainty. According to M. Paulin Paris, who annotated Tallement des Réaux, and M. le Baron Angellier, the author of an interesting notice on the château de la Bourdaisière, which is in the neighbourhood of Tours, Gabrielle was born in Touraine, at la Bourdaisière, and in the year 1565. On what evidence these two authors are led to make so positive an assertion we do not know.

No document in any way throwing light on Gabrielle's birthplace has ever been forthcoming; and Picardy, as well as Touraine, lays claim to her, as being born at the château of Cœuvres. If we are unable to state with certainty the name of the province where she first saw the light, we can at least call the date 1565 into question and substitute an exact date.
