Manoir de Trebouchard (Trebouchard Manor)

It's a very busy week with health, work, and job search stuff to do. So this is a quick post with a floor plan.

The second long series of adventures for the characters featured a number of locations with pictures and floor plans. For one set of scenes the characters were at the family manor house of a friend from the King's Musketeers, Raymonde de Trebouchard. Read about their arrival here. This was set up as an opportunity for several things to occur. I wanted to

• create a deeper connection with the Raymonde de Trebouchard,
• located near the town of Auxerre, an important location for the Black Riders adventure,
• provide a local base for their investigations into the mysterious Black Riders,
• give the players a view of the life of a rural minor noble; not the great nobles, but the lesser nobles, who form much of the backbone of the officer class and the mid rank clergy,
• allow the PCs/players a chance to bond with one or more family members so they would care about them,
• and then attack the farm house.

Here's a picture of the farm house* today to give you an idea of what it might have looked like in the 17th century.

With minor modifications the handout and pictures can be used for a French farm house from the Early Modern to the present day. Here are download links to a handout with the floor plan and map key.

TREBOUCHARD MANOR HANDOUT

EDIT: Though it is listed in the handout, I forgot to include a credit here. I try to do that when I have it or can easily find it if I hadn't previously noted it.

* Based on the Le Manoir de Theuran, a manor located in Burgundy close to the valley of the Loire and which dates from the fifteenth century.
