In 1639, the château became the property of Isaac de Madaillan.
His great-grandson, Léon, later built the Hôtel de Lassay in Paris which is today the seat of the National Assembly.
In 2009 the President of the National Assembly paid Lassay-les-Châteaux a visit, met many of the local dignitaries, and extended an invitation to them to come and visit him in Paris.
My invite was lost in the post!
