About Château de Trousse-Barrière
The Château de Trousse-Barrière is a late 19th-century manor house in Briare, built between 1885 and 1890 for Paul Yver, brother-in-law of industrialist Jean-Félix Bapterosses who owned the famous Emaux de Briare enamel factory. The building combines brick and dressed stone with two rounded corner towers topped by elaborate cupolas and a slate roof. Since 1974 it has belonged to the City of Briare, which converted it into a municipal exhibition centre after major restoration in 1982.

The estate's name has ancient roots: 'Trousse' comes from the Old French 'troche' meaning a small wood or cluster of trees, while 'Barrière' derives from the Celtic word 'biberaria,' referring to a place inhabited by beavers. The site was first documented as a farmstead called 'Trousse-Baurrière' in 1508.
