History

The estate has origins in the early Middle Ages, though the details are largely unknown,[3] but takes its name from Jean Caranet or Carnet, an heir of Jean de Foix who is believed responsible for having built the château tower.[4]

The estate has been owned by Bernard Magrez since 1999. [3][5]

gollark: I want something to run better on my very memory-constrained server.
gollark: This is probably the wrong place, but there aren't others for Reikan 1.7.10 packs, so can someone help trim down the modlist here? Some are notmods or folders, as I did `ls > mods.txt`.
gollark: Oh, and also seems like you just added harder recipes for a few things. Interesting.
gollark: So...you disable omnitools, fancy armor, RC somethings, BM bound stuff (wait, that's commted out), ***TC flight***, muck with foci for some reason, AE2's "blockgrinder" (is that the grindstone ore doubly thing?) is disabled, ProjectE is destroyed, no osmium tools (what?), one builder's want gone (what?), some generators gone (what?), more flight gone, no potion rings, ... and if I understand this correctly you just hide some of the recipes rather than actually fix them...?!
gollark: Hmm, zenscript seems quite horrible.
