History[edit]

It is said that Scottish banker John Law bought Valençay in 1747 but he died in 1729 !--212.234.180.194 10:27, 6 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

John Law bought the chateau in 1719, Tallyrand in 1803, and the article says this is LESS than HALF a century?? It's 84 years!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.110.197.240 (talk) 03:54, 15 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
