Fist of all, Bravo Les Bleus. I do not usually watch football but I, like millions of others, just had to watch this match. 
O.K back to Monbazillac.
There is a very interesting room in the Château called Mounet-Sully room. There is only a brief explanation of the person so I just had to find out more. Mounet-Sully (birth name Jean-Sully Mounet was born in 1841 in Bergerac) and he became a famous actor, painter, sculptor and writer. He was a member of the celebrated Comedie Francaise, as was his brother Paul.
His most famous role as an actor was that of Oedipus in L’Oedipe, a French version by Jules Lacroix. He was made Chevalier of the Legion of Honour in 1889.
A little bit of scandal, his brother Paul was famous not only for his acting but for his affair with Sarah Bernhardt. Who’s picture you can see on the table in the room.
In the tower room is a gorgeous collection of white porcelain from Limoges which also belonged to Mounet-Sully.
A Reconstruction of a lady’s bedroom in the 17th Century.
Next to the bedroom is a wonderful room filled with sketches of Ladies fashions from the Edwardian period. I particularly liked this sketch above, the costume looks so elegant and stylish.
We had a sneaky peek into this room which is being restored to its former glory.
