Presentation
Presentation
We can not speak of the BASME without reminding that Guyot des Roches, its owner, married Jeanne de CHAUDRIER in 1488. He died in 1511, and his widow married Loys de RONSARD, lord of the Possonniere. Their union gave birth to Pierre de RONSARD, the poet, on the 11th September 1524.
Mr. Jean Francois ROUPILLARD has been exploiting the domain for 30 years, succeeding to his grandfather.
