depths.<\/p><p>The Marquise de Belle-Isle, Marie Madeleine de Castille, appears in the shade of an olive tree, sipping a ros\u00e9 de l'Isle, next to the angel of love, as beautiful as the Venus in

Belle-Isle\", a long time ago, under the reign of Louis XIV, power, opulence, decay and resilience all intertwined to name a small piece of land in the Corbi\u00e8res after the famous Breton island of Belle-Isle-en-Mer.<\/p><p>This is the story of the Belle-Isle estate.<\/p><p>In 1638, Nicolas Foucquet bought Belle-Isle-en-Mer from the Duc de Retz, and with it the title of Marquis de Belle-Isle. He had the island fortified to ensure its defence.<\/p><p>On 5 September 1661, Nicolas Fouquet, then Superintendent of Finances, accused of embezzlement by Colbert, was arrested by D'Artagnan. The King sentenced him to life imprisonment, but allowed him and his family to keep their lands and titles. Finally, the king substituted his authority over the island for that of the Marquis.<\/p><p>During Nicolas Fouquet's imprisonment, Marie Madeleine de Castille, his wife, defended the interests of her family and demanded that the King compensate her for the value of the fortifications built by her husband. Her request was accepted by the King's Council.<\/p><p>On the death of Louis XIV in 1714, as no settlement had been reached, the matter was brought before the Council of Regency, which awarded the Province of Brittany 400,000 pounds in reimbursement, payable in cash. In 1728, nothing had been paid...<\/p><p>The Conseil de R\u00e9gence then proposed a solution involving an exchange of seigneuries, a proposal that was ratified on 16 March 1728.<\/p><p>It should be noted that in 1719, several seigneuries in Languedoc (including the barony of L\u00e9zignan) were detached from the Royal Estate and reconstituted as fiefs for the benefit of the Duke of Belle-Isle, under an exchange contract, with the stipulation of immediate possession, by provision of the granted estates, and entry into possession on 1st January 1720.<\/p><p>This is how the Belle-Isle estate came to be, in the heart of the Corbi\u00e8res.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c52751a elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"c52751a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\" id=\"belle-histoire\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-12fcf31 elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"12fcf31\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\" id=\"domaine\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-26690d4 elementor-section-content-middle elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"26690d4\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-dacdd49\" data-id=\"dacdd49\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8da56cd elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"8da56cd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"730\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/chateaubelleisle.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/JEAN-LUC-BELLE-ISLE.webp\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-1398\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chateaubelleisle.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/JEAN-LUC-BELLE-ISLE.webp 730w, https:\/\/chateaubelleisle.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/JEAN-LUC-BELLE-ISLE-285x300.webp 285w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-2237871\" data-id=\"2237871\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c0e5238 elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-mobile elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c0e5238\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">1990<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8a6152d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"8a6152d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Estate<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1afa9ca elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1afa9ca\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In 2021, the Pugnaud family handed over Domaine de Belle Isle to Jean-Luc Ruelle and his family.
