This registered historic building, located in the historic district, is one of the most remarkable buildings of the entire medieval area of Sarlat. Behind its façades, today it reveals the private worlds of several illustrious people. The Gisson family lived in the 15 rooms of this manor. The family included illustrious members such as royal solicitor, lawyer, Consul of Sarlat, dragoon captain and knight of the Royal and Military Order of Saint-Louis. The restoration of each space was carried out with great care in order to illustrate the atmosphere and daily life surrounding Sarlat’s 17th-century nobility. The 15th-century spiral staircase gives access to several levels, where the private quarters of the former occupants are richly decorated. You’ll discover gorgeous ceremonial rooms, period furniture, fireplaces, woodwork and precious hardwood flooring, cobblestone floors and large ceremonial terrace overlooking Place des Oies and the lanes of the historic district. Since 2012, the vaulted cellars feature a curiosity cabinet that was very in vogue with nobility at the end of the Renaissance. This incredible exhibition is a collection of the strangest, most unlikely things that nature has to offer, and was astounding for visitors of the period. New features / exhibitions: Curiosity cabinet. www.manoirdegisson.com www.bovetti.com Museums CDT Dordogne Catalogue
