Construit \u00e0 la fin du XVIIIe si\u00e8cle par les Lom\u00e9nie de Brienne, le ch\u00e2teau est une demeure princi\u00e8re. Un g\u00e9ant de pierre mis en sc\u00e8ne sans jamais r\u00e9v\u00e9ler son extr\u00eame raffinement.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pour Philippe Seydoux, grand sp\u00e9cialiste des ch\u00e2teaux, les trois plus belles demeures du XVIIIe si\u00e8cle en Champagne se trouvent dans l\u2019Aube. Vaux (\u00e9poque R\u00e9gence), La Motte Tilly (\u00e9poque Louis XV) et Brienne-le-Ch\u00e2teau, construit juste avant la R\u00e9volution.<\/p>\n

La demeure des Lom\u00e9nie de Brienne est de surcro\u00eet un ch\u00e2teau hors-norme par sa mise en sc\u00e8ne, ses dimensions, ses am\u00e9nagements somptuaires. Un ch\u00e2teau princier !<\/p>\n

Les b\u00e2timents que d\u00e9couvre le visiteur, d\u2019o\u00f9 qu\u2019il vienne, ne repr\u00e9sentent qu\u2019une fraction de ce qu\u2019ils sont r\u00e9ellement. Tel un iceberg, moiti\u00e9 est immerg\u00e9e.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

LES SCIENCES ET L\u2019\u00c9RUDITION<\/h3>\n

Lui \u00e9chappe notamment la salle de spectacle construite pour 200 spectateurs, sous le pavillon de gauche \u2013 s\u00e9jour d\u2019hiver du cardinal de Lom\u00e9nie de Brienne \u2013 et directement accessible depuis la chambre de l\u2019eccl\u00e9siastique par un escalier. Manag\u00e9e dans un talus abrupt, elle ouvrait \u00e0 volont\u00e9 sur le paysage\u2026<\/p>\n

La \u00ab cour anglaise<\/em> \u00bb est r\u00e9alis\u00e9e c\u00f4t\u00e9 cour pour donner de la lumi\u00e8re naturelle aux pi\u00e8ces du rez-de-chauss\u00e9e, destin\u00e9es aux domestiques. Ces grandes cuisines, construites et ouvertes sur une terrasse basse au nord ou l\u2019orangerie, am\u00e9nag\u00e9e en pendant terrasse sud.<\/p>\n

Lanc\u00e9 en 1770 par un gigantesque terrassement pour r\u00e9aliser la rampe d\u2019acc\u00e8s, et la plateforme sommitale, le ch\u00e2teau est inaugur\u00e9 en 1778 bien que les am\u00e9nagements ext\u00e9rieurs ne soient pas totalement achev\u00e9s.<\/p>\n

Archev\u00eaque de Toulouse puis de Sens, principal ministre de Louis XVI de 1787 \u00e0 1788, M. de Brienne prise les livres, les sciences et les curiosit\u00e9s.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

LE FASTE DES PRINCES DE BAUFFREMONT<\/h3>\n

Le ch\u00e2teau fait la part belle \u00e0 une galerie biblioth\u00e8que \u00e9lev\u00e9e sur trois niveaux, un cabinet de physique dans lequel officie un scientifique, un cabinet de curiosit\u00e9s.<\/p>\n

Ce seront douze ann\u00e9es de f\u00eates brillantes avant que la R\u00e9volution n\u2019\u00e9teigne les derniers fastes de l\u2019Ancien R\u00e9gime. La maison compte alors encore une quarantaine de domestiques !<\/p>\n

M\u00eame s\u2019il est adul\u00e9 des Toulousains, le cardinal est arr\u00eat\u00e9 et jet\u00e9 en prison \u00e0 Sens, o\u00f9 il meurt. Son fr\u00e8re et les trois neveux qu\u2019il a adopt\u00e9s sont guillotin\u00e9s.<\/p>\n

La Campagne de France aurait pu an\u00e9antir le ch\u00e2teau, en position dominante strat\u00e9gique. L\u2019Empereur et Bl\u00fccher se le disputent.<\/p>\n

De 1851 \u00e0 1931, Brienne vit une nouvelle p\u00e9riode de faste sous les princes de Bauffremont-Courtenay. En t\u00e9moigne la tr\u00e8s riche s\u00e9rie de cartes postales conserv\u00e9e aux Archives d\u00e9partementales de l\u2019Aube.<\/p>\n

\u00c0 la Lib\u00e9ration, Brienne aurait encore pu dispara\u00eetre dans l\u2019indiff\u00e9rence. Dans les ann\u00e9es cinquante, la clairvoyance du pr\u00e9fet Pierre-Marcel Wiltzer l\u2019affecte \u00e0 la sant\u00e9 mentale ce qui permet de pr\u00e9server au mieux son agencement, partie de d\u00e9cors, trac\u00e9 de ses jardins\u2026<\/p>\n

Toute sa grandeur en somme.<\/p>\n

L\u2019ATTACHEMENT DE L\u2019EMPEREUR<\/h3>\n

Avec la route de Saint-Dizier, la longue rampe qui conduit vers la cour d\u2019honneur, le ch\u00e2teau, puis la terrasse des tilleuls, enfin l\u2019all\u00e9e foresti\u00e8re qui fuit en direction d\u2019\u00c9pagne, le ch\u00e2teau poss\u00e8de l\u2019une des plus belles perspectives de l\u2019Aube. La construction de Brienne vient de s\u2019 achever quand le jeune Bonaparte entre \u00e0 l\u2019 \u00e9cole militaire royale. Il s\u2019y arr\u00eate en 1805, dans le voyage qui le conduit \u00e0 Milan pour son couronnement. Il tente d\u2019acheter le ch\u00e2teau mais Mme de Brienne n\u2019y consent pas. Il y reviendra en 1814 dans les circonstances que l\u2019on sait.<\/p>\n
