Notes

This mezzanine floor consists mostly of the 'upper part' of the eating room, withdrawing room and library and also the entrance hall. There is a single-height chamber with three beds, no direct lighting but there is a fireplace. Externally, the plan of the 'portico' differs and has now six slender columns in an arrangement of 1-2-2-1.
