Grande Salle, Chateau de Chateauneuf, Burgundy, France
La Grande Salle, a ceremonial room used for public meetings, receptions and banquets, in the main 15th century building of the Chateau de Chateauneuf, or Chateauneuf-en-Auxois, a 12th and 15th century castle, Cote d'Or, Burgundy, France. The glazed floor tiles are original although most of the room has been redeveloped and the original painted coat of arms of Philippe Pot on the ceremonial fireplace was damaged in the French Revolution. The motto of Philippe Pot, Tant LVault, is painted in foliage letters above the fireplace. Originally built in 1132 by Jean de Chaudenay, the castle was modified from a medieval fortress to a residence from 1457 under Philippe le Bon, Duc de Bourgogne, or Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy, who gave the castle to his advisor Philippe Pot. The castle sits on an outcrop overlooking the valley of the Canal de Bourgogne and is listed as a historic monument. Picture by Manuel Cohen
