CASTLE HOTEL RESTAURANT
Welcome to the domaine
of Laroche-Ploquin
Renovation of the Chapelle La Roche Ploquin
In 2024, France celebrates the 80th anniversary of the Liberation. This year, everyone is invited to pay tribute to all the fighters who rose up under the same motto, ‘Live free or die’, to fight against Nazism and defend France.
The château was then steeped in history thanks to Countess Marie-Thérèse de POIX, a descendant of the du Puy family. During the 2nd World War, the Countess welcomed to La Roche Ploquin families and individuals who had to hide from the Nazis: Jews, British and American airmen. The Countess and the château enabled many people to cross the demarcation line, which passed nearby, and reach the free zone.
The Comtesse's courage and her love of humanity and life were praised by the President of the United States, Dwight D. Eisenhower, among many others. He expressed to the Viscountess Jean de Poix ‘the gratitude and esteem of the American people for her courageous service in facilitating the escape of Allied soldiers who were prisoners of the enemy’.
The château and outbuildings have been restored, but the chapel has never been restored and now houses the graves of the de Poix family, including the Countess. We cannot decently ignore this chapel where the Countess rests after having contributed so much to France. The cost of restoration is enormous, over €400,000... That's why we're asking for your generosity to enable us to restore it, so that the memory of the Countess will live on and never be forgotten.
We have set up a system of donations via a Leetchi kitty for those who would like to contribute to its renovation.
