In this year 2022, the summer series of Com d'Archi accompanies the inventory of French architectural treasures. From 4 July to 28 August, architectural walks through houses and castles, both well-known and lesser-known, will follow one another. The first four issues are written by Esther Greslin. The next four numbers are written by Anne-Charlotte Depondt (the voice of the French version). Esther lends her voice to the English version.

In this seventh issue, we talk about the French Château d'Anet. The construction of the Château d'Anet, to which we commonly refer, was commissioned by Diane de Poitiers from Philibert Delorme in the middle of the 16th century. However, two castles already existed there. Thus, from the preliminary strata came other strata, damaged by the French Revolution, now more or less preserved, and within which the skilful dome of the chapel unfolds and whose infinite geometry finds its own reflection in the figure drawn in the paving of the ground. In this issue of Com d'Archi, we offer you a brief deciphering and reading of its brilliant dome conception.
