Nice park, ideal place for the barbecue with games for children.

The manor cannot be visited, but its setting, the Kéroual wood, is a very beautiful place to walk, with play facilities for children, its ponds with ducks, moorhens, sometimes herons and cormorants. Orientation-style courses are also possible. The mansion itself is known to be the birthplace of Countess Louise de Kéroual, who became a favorite of England's King Charles II, by whom she had a son who is one of Lady Diana's ancestors.

Argos Theater

The ancient Argos Theater was built in 320 BC. and is located in Argos, Greece against Larissa Hill. Nearby from this site is Agora, Roman Odeon, and the Baths of Argos. The theater is one of the largest architectural developments in Greece and was renovated in ca 120 AD.

The Hellenistic theater at Argos is cut into the hillside of the Larisa, with 90 steps up a steep incline, forming a narrow rectilinear cavea. Among the largest theaters in Greece, it held about 20,000 spectators and is divided by two landings into three horizontal sections. Staircases further divide the cavea into four cunei, corresponding to the tribes of Argos A high wall was erected to prevent unauthorized access into the theatron and may have helped the acoustics, but it is said the sound quality is still very good today.

Around 120 CE, both theaters were renovated in the Roman style.
