One of Emilia de Farcy’s favorite rooms in the château is the green winter room, which is the oldest—and coziest—space. “There is something magical and mystical about it,” she says. “When installed by the chimney, you can see yourself traveling in time to the sixteenth century.” Above the mantelpiece hangs a portrait of Jacques Annibal de Farcy, president of the parliament of Brittany in Rennes, prior to the French Revolution. A painting of Cecile le Corgne de Bonabri, wife of Armand de Farcy and mother of Louis, hangs in the Le Maitre de Brocéliande guestroom. Cecile and Armand were the last owners of the forging mill in Brocéliande, which they sold shortly before 1850, allowing Louis to invest in major changes to the house in later years.
