Relations with England
On March 12, 1881, the Marquess Henri de Breteuil organized a secret meeting at the "chateau" with the future King Edward VII and Gambetta, President of the Chamber of Deputies. This constituted the beginnings of the Entente Cordiale. In 1912, another Prince of Wales, the future Duke of Windsor, stayed with the Breteuil family for four months to learn French.
