Beauregard then became the residence of ministers, those intermediary figures, neither entirely sovereign nor entirely erased, who held the unseen workings of the State in their hands. They governed there without fanfare, but not without influence.<br>In 1617, one of them, Paul Ardier \u2013 a minister under the reigns of Henry III, Henry IV, and Louis XIII \u2013 undertook what would make the place unique: its decoration. <strong>Gallery of the Illustrious.<\/strong> Measuring 26 metres long by 6 metres wide, this gallery is designed as a vast space for strolling, where the architecture showcases the harmony of proportions and the richness of the d\u00e9cor.<br>In 1925, the ch\u00e2teau was purchased by Mrs. de Gossellin, whose descendants, the du Pavillon family, still live there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-la-memoire-de-l-europe-en-327-portraits\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"La_memoire_de_lEurope_en_327_portraits\"><\/span>Europe's memory in 327 portraits<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"531\" src=\"https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Pan-11_Light500-Copier-1024x531.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13850\" srcset=\"https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Pan-11_Light500-Copier-1024x531.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Pan-11_Light500-Copier-300x155.jpg 300w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Pan-11_Light500-Copier-768x398.jpg 768w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Pan-11_Light500-Copier-1536x796.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Pan-11_Light500-Copier-18x9.jpg 18w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Pan-11_Light500-Copier-600x311.jpg 600w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Pan-11_Light500-Copier-36x19.jpg 36w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Pan-11_Light500-Copier.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>France.

Selection from the reign of Louis XIII.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A total of 327 portraits, delivered between 1617 and 1638, adorn the gallery. Almost thirty nationalities: Europe, Turkey and beyond, captured in the French mirror. A less decorative than intellectual gesture, it is not about adorning, but about ordering the world. Here, the defining figures of history are not summoned to be admired, but to be aligned, compared, almost put to the test of scrutiny.<br>Here, one encounters a remarkable diversity: French and foreign monarchs, emperors, popes, diplomats, military leaders and prominent political figures, industrialists\u2026 Bertrand Duguesclin, Marie de\u00ab Medici, Selim I \u00bbthe Fierce', Pope Clement VII, Philip II of Spain, Jeanne d'Albret, Francis, Duke of Guise, the Turkish pirate Oru\u00e7 Reis, Louis XIII, Suleiman the Magnificent\u2026\u2026.<br>What is striking is the European openness. Paul Ardier does not seek to glorify France alone, but to place his history within a broader interplay of influences, an early \u201cgeopolitical\u201d vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A structure emerges, but without ostentation. Nothing of the apparent randomness of accumulated collections: here, everything proceeds from a design. Each figure fits into a continuity. It is no longer just a portrait: it is a position. Alliances formed, rivalries hidden, inheritances disputed, all this surfaces from one gaze to the next. We progress thus, from one reign to the following, with the strange sensation of flicking through a silent book. The faces suggest; they allow us to guess at strategies, doubts, and sometimes vanities.<br>Discreet pedagogy accompanies the visitor. Above each portrait, an inscription: name, role, sometimes a succinct indication, provides essential reference points; it guides reading without imposing it and illuminates without confining interpretation. Nothing forced, nothing demonstrative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"832\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Henri4\u252c\u00aeChrisMorinEitner2025-Copier-1-832x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13840 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Henri4\u252c\u00aeChrisMorinEitner2025-Copier-1-832x1024.jpg 832w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Henri4\u252c\u00aeChrisMorinEitner2025-Copier-1-244x300.jpg 244w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Henri4\u252c\u00aeChrisMorinEitner2025-Copier-1-768x946.jpg 768w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Henri4\u252c\u00aeChrisMorinEitner2025-Copier-1-10x12.jpg 10w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Henri4\u252c\u00aeChrisMorinEitner2025-Copier-1-487x600.jpg 487w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Henri4\u252c\u00aeChrisMorinEitner2025-Copier-1-19x24.jpg 19w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Henri4\u252c\u00aeChrisMorinEitner2025-Copier-1.jpg 877w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 832px) 100vw, 832px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Paul Ardier places the first of the Bourbons, Henri IV, above the fireplace. This is the dynasty reigning at the time of the patron; it is they who must be flattered. His portrait is the centrepiece of the entire gallery. While the other 326 characters are almost all depicted as busts, Henri IV appears in majesty, on horseback, in an imposing equestrian portrait that immediately draws the eye.<br>He wears richly chiselled armour, its metallic gleam highlighting his status as a war leader. A white sash, an emblem of the royal party during the Wars of Religion, crosses his chest. In his right hand, Henri IV holds a baton of command, rather than a brandished weapon. His face is serene and determined. We recognise his famous upturned moustache, his pointed beard and his high forehead, features that have become emblematic of his iconography.<br><em>Portrait revisited by Chris Morin-Eitner.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-un-ciel-artificiel\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Un_ciel_artificiel\"><\/span>An artificial sky<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" src=\"https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/ILL_0559-galerie-Copier-1024x681.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13867\" srcset=\"https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/ILL_0559-galerie-Copier-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/ILL_0559-galerie-Copier-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/ILL_0559-galerie-Copier-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/ILL_0559-galerie-Copier-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/ILL_0559-galerie-Copier-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/ILL_0559-galerie-Copier-600x399.jpg 600w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/ILL_0559-galerie-Copier-36x24.jpg 36w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/ILL_0559-galerie-Copier.jpg 1623w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>France.

Executed in the French style, it is structured by a network of exposed beams and joists adorned with painted motifs and decorative fillets. Designed to impress visitors, it is distinguished by an exceptionally intense blue, obtained through the use of lapis lazuli powder. This semi-precious stone, mainly imported from the mountains of Afghanistan, was among the most expensive materials in Europe in the 17th century. Its deep blue colour was associated with the sky, royalty, and the divine.<br>The desired effect is enhanced by the natural light that filters through the gallery's high windows. As it diffuses across the ceiling surfaces, it reveals the full richness of this deep blue, the shades of which seem to vary throughout the day. This subtle interplay between light and lapis lazuli gives the visitor the impression of a celestial vault. One understands why several art historians speak of a \u00ab <em>Artificial sky<\/em> \u00bbThis ceiling does not merely aim to decorate; it transforms the gallery into a symbolic space. Below, the history of mankind scrolls by; above, a timeless sky stretches out, evoking the permanence of the monarchy and of Providence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-le-pavage-un-tresor-de-faiences-hollandaises\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Le_pavage_un_tresor_de_faiences_hollandaises\"><\/span>Paving: a treasure of Dutch tiles<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/7b-ROLF_BGD102011_4544941Final-Copier-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13855 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/7b-ROLF_BGD102011_4544941Final-Copier-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/7b-ROLF_BGD102011_4544941Final-Copier-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/7b-ROLF_BGD102011_4544941Final-Copier-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/7b-ROLF_BGD102011_4544941Final-Copier-450x600.jpg 450w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/7b-ROLF_BGD102011_4544941Final-Copier-18x24.jpg 18w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/7b-ROLF_BGD102011_4544941Final-Copier.jpg 810w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The floor of the Gallery of the Illustrious is made up of a carpet of 5,600 Delft earthenware tiles. Created in the 17th century, this tiling forms a vast composition representing the different corps of an army on the march during the reign of Louis XIII: infantrymen, cavalrymen, drummers, officers, cannons, and equipages follow one another along the entire length of the gallery. This exceptional decoration interacts with the 327 historical portraits adorning the walls, transforming the very floor into a visual narrative of monarchical power. Inspired by blue and white Chinese porcelain, these tiles were immensely successful in Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries and became a symbol of the refinement of great aristocratic residences. The Beauregard tiling is today considered one of the largest and best-preserved of its kind in France.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-le-cabinet-des-grelots\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Le_Cabinet_des_Grelots\"><\/span><br>The Cabinet of Small Bells<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" data-id=\"13851\" src=\"https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Cabinet-des-grelots-du-chateau-de-Beauregard-1-Copier-1024x681.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13851\" srcset=\"https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Cabinet-des-grelots-du-chateau-de-Beauregard-1-Copier-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Cabinet-des-grelots-du-chateau-de-Beauregard-1-Copier-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Cabinet-des-grelots-du-chateau-de-Beauregard-1-Copier-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Cabinet-des-grelots-du-chateau-de-Beauregard-1-Copier-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Cabinet-des-grelots-du-chateau-de-Beauregard-1-Copier-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Cabinet-des-grelots-du-chateau-de-Beauregard-1-Copier-600x399.jpg 600w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Cabinet-des-grelots-du-chateau-de-Beauregard-1-Copier-36x24.jpg 36w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Cabinet-des-grelots-du-chateau-de-Beauregard-1-Copier.jpg 1623w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Cabinet of bells, the Italian coffered ceiling by Scibec of CARPI 1554<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" data-id=\"13852\" src=\"https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Cabinet-des-grelots-du-chateau-de-Beauregard-14-Copier-1024x681.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13852\" srcset=\"https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Cabinet-des-grelots-du-chateau-de-Beauregard-14-Copier-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Cabinet-des-grelots-du-chateau-de-Beauregard-14-Copier-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Cabinet-des-grelots-du-chateau-de-Beauregard-14-Copier-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Cabinet-des-grelots-du-chateau-de-Beauregard-14-Copier-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Cabinet-des-grelots-du-chateau-de-Beauregard-14-Copier-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Cabinet-des-grelots-du-chateau-de-Beauregard-14-Copier-600x399.jpg 600w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Cabinet-des-grelots-du-chateau-de-Beauregard-14-Copier-36x24.jpg 36w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Cabinet-des-grelots-du-chateau-de-Beauregard-14-Copier.jpg 1623w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Cabinet of Bells, by Scibec of CARPI 1554<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"h-le-cabinet-des-grelots-le-chateau-de-beauregard-renferme-egalement-un-veritable-joyau-de-la-renaissance-le-cabinet-des-grelots-ancien-cabinet-de-travail-de-jean-du-thier-son-nom-fait-reference-aux-armoiries-de-son-proprietaire-ornees-de-trois-grelots-d-or-sur-fond-d-azur-un-motif-que-l-on-retrouve-sculpte-a-travers-toute-la-piece-realise-en-1554-par-l-ebeniste-italien-scibec-de-carpi-qui-travailla-egalement-a-fontainebleau-et-au-chateau-d-anet-ce-remarquable-studiolo-est-un-chef-d-oeuvre-de-l-art-decoratif-du-xvi\u1d49-siecle-ses-boiseries-finement-sculptees-et-son-elegant-plafond-a-caissons-mettent-en-valeur-une-serie-de-panneaux-peints-illustrant-les-activites-ideales-d-un-gentilhomme-humaniste-la-musique-la-peinture-la-sculpture-la-lecture-l-orfevrerie-mais-aussi-la-chasse-le-jeu-de-paume-et-les-exercices-militaires-a-lui-seul-ce-petit-cabinet-resume-l-esprit-de-la-renaissance-ou-le-gout-des-arts-du-savoir-et-de-l-exercice-physique-formait-l-ideal-de-l-homme-accompli\"><br>The Ch\u00e2teau de Beauregard also houses a true Renaissance jewel: the Cabinet des Grelots (Bell Cabinet), the former study of Jean du Thier. Its name refers to its owner's coat of arms, adorned with three gold bells on a blue background, a motif that can be found sculpted throughout the room. Created in 1554 by the Italian cabinetmaker <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Francesco_Scibec_da_Carpi\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Francesco_Scibec_da_Carpi\">Francesco Scibec<\/a>, called Scibec of Carpi, who also worked at Fontainebleau and the Ch\u00e2teau d'Anet, this remarkable <em>studiolo<\/em> is a masterpiece of 16th-century decorative art. Its finely carved wood panelling and elegant coffered ceiling showcase a series of painted panels illustrating the ideal activities of a humanist gentleman: music, painting, sculpture, reading, goldsmithing, but also hunting, real tennis and military exercises. This small cabinet alone encapsulates the spirit of the Renaissance, where a taste for the arts, knowledge, and physical exercise formed the ideal of the accomplished man.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_0159-Copier-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13872\" srcset=\"https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_0159-Copier-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_0159-Copier-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_0159-Copier-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_0159-Copier-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_0159-Copier-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_0159-Copier-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_0159-Copier-36x24.jpg 36w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_0159-Copier.jpg 1620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>France.

He succeeds in transforming a collection into reflection. Each element is part of the same project: to make art, history and power dialogue. Four centuries after Paul Ardier, this ambition remains intact. Beauregard offers the visitor far more than a simple castle visit: a reading of Europe through those who shaped it and a meditation on power, memory and perhaps, on the illusion of lasting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Text : <\/strong>Mich\u00e8le Lasseur<br><strong>Photos : <\/strong>Ch\u00e2teau de Beauregard<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-adresse\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adresse\"><\/span>Address<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Beauregard Park and Ch\u00e2teau<\/strong><br>41 120 Cellettes \u2013 France<br>Tel: 02 54 70 41 65<br><a href=\"mailto:info@beauregard-loire.com\">info@beauregard-loire.com<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/beauregard-loire.com\/contact\/www.beauregard-loire.com\">www.beauregard-loire.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-autre-article-sur-beauregard\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Autre_article_sur_Beauregard\"><\/span>Another article about Beauregard<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-univers-voyage wp-block-embed-univers-voyage\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"pe7EfwcbRl\"><a href=\"https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/en\/a-beauregard-chris-morin-either-metamorphose-the-portrait-gallery\/\">At Beauregard, Chris Morin-Eitner transforms the portrait gallery<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"\u00abAt Beauregard, Chris Morin-Eitner metamorphoses the portrait gallery\u00bb \u2014 Univers Voyage\" src=\"https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/a-beauregard-chris-morin-eitner-metamorphose-la-galerie-des-portraits\/embed\/#?secret=cDVBPrxbjT#?secret=pe7EfwcbRl\" data-secret=\"pe7EfwcbRl\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Between Blois and Chambord, the Ch\u00e2teau de Beauregard stands out as one of the most unique landmarks in the Loire Valley.
