Bouesse: Holiday apartments and holiday homes
Accommodation in Bouesse
Bouesse combines striking buildings with rural paths and a landscape of forests, plains, and sunken lanes. Between the church, château, pond, and small country roads, the different facets of the village lie close together.
Culture and history
The Église Saint-Étienne has a single-nave, rectangular nave with a barrel vault made of plastered lathwork. Above the western portal are the coats of arms of Charles VI de Gaucourt and his wife, Alberte-Brigitte de La Baume Montravel. In the 19th century, the church was restored under the direction of Abbé P.M. Lenoir.
The Château de Bouesse was rebuilt in 1492 with larger openings and a south-facing terrace. Its 32-metre-high keep is decorated with machicolations, beneath which four coats of arms are carved.
