Château Jadot

150 metres along Rue du Commerce, you will see a magnificent building, yellowish in colour, on your left. This is the Château Jadot, a wonderful illustration of an architectural style popular from1850 to 1950. This style of building was the symbol of a prosperous and well-endowed bourgeoisie of days now long gone. Opposite the chateau, make the acquaintance of the statue of Li p’tit chufleu (the little whistler), also known as the Urchin of Marche. Behind his outwardly angelic appearance lurks a rebellious soul. He symbolises the spirit of Marche, impertinent, mischievous and gently mocking. The statue is the work of sculptor Louis Noë, modelled, it is said,on a child of his acquaintance.
