Castle Passillé

postcard from the early twentieth century.

Located in Brittany, it is nestled in the greenery 35 km from Mont Saint Michel and 1,5 kms from the town of Parigné (35133). This town comes from the Roman “Parinus”. Toth century, a village called “Parish of Parigneio » (Parish Parigné) is created near the village of Passillé.

The primitive church of Parigné was dit-on*, on the site of the & rsquo; pond Passillé which we sometimes hear again, d & rsquo; the legend, the ringing of its bells. Today & rsquo; hui, poplars occupy this place at the bottom of the park.

  • No historian mentions this fact and this assertion should rather be considered as a legend told at the vigil.
  • Nevertheless, an elder of the commune remembers very well that at school in his childhood, their teacher told them that a church was buried near the bridge on the site of the old pond.

We still have to do some digging to check…

Xth century :

Traces & rsquo; human occupation dating back to 990, date on which the Villa Passillé was given to the abbey of Mont-Saint-Michel with Villamée and the fief of the Haut-Pays and later, a priory with its dependencies are installed.

XVIIth century :

There are also several small farms dating from the 17th century, a restored part of which is visible opposite the estate on the stables of Jean-Baptiste Helleux.

XIXth century :

At the end of the 19th, a few meters from the lordship of Passillé, a large house is built, ceilings with curls. Near, a barn and a barn were redeveloped.

Construction :

The first stone was laid in 1881 on the initiative of Edouard Boullevraye de Passillé (1839-1897), owner of a nearby farm. This big stage remains in a state remained perfect, was for this end of the 19th centuryth extremely rare century and the inhabitants of the neighboring towns then had the habit of calling it the “castle”.

Entry was via the farm “Le Portail” on the road to Parigné.

Entirely lined with oak trees and paved, the path crossed the river to arrive on the south side first and end to the east of the castle.

This path and the medieval arched bridge were completely destroyed to make way for crops..

XXth century :

sold in 1937 The spouses Guelte, they resell the domain 1941 Mayor of the town of Parigné, Pierre Guerin. The new owner of the castle was known as healer Passillé, peasant and mayor. disappeared 1946, his wife and children retain ownership that & rsquo; they will give in 1973 the daughter of Pierre Guerin, Marie-Cecile and her husband Rene Chauvin.

XXIth century :

Castle Passillé, his 4ha park, its graded timber with its biodiversity in wetland, its watercourse and its outbuildings will remain the home of Madame Chauvin. With her children, she decided to sell it 2018 Samia and Florian Lemoine.

Originally from the village of Tremblay 30 km of Parigné, it’s a return to the roots for Samia and for Florian his youth spent in Saint-Cast on the Emerald Coast.

And after ? :

Inaugurated in 2019, the Château de Passillé welcomes in its domaingites , a chalet for family or professional events and a craft brewery specializing in recipe creation tailor-made for individuals and professionals as well as a beer brewed directly on the property, la shook.

 

C & rsquo; is a place full of 1030 years & rsquo; history and 140 years of the "Castle Passillé", Samia and Florian will write the next lines.

Parigné – Lieu-dit : Passillé Population census

Napoleonic land register of 1811

Extract (Departmental archives of Ille-et-Vilaine)

 

 

We find on this first cadastre, said Napoleonic, established in 1811, of the municipality of Parigné, two distinct villages, located near each other, Haut Passillé and Bas Passillé. Under the Ancien Régime, these two fiefdoms fell under the lordship of Marigny, in the parish of Saint-Germain-en-Coglès.

 

The Fougères historian, Emile Pautrel specifies that the “village of Passillé » was given in the year 990, with the parish of Villamée (Villa Amois or Armois) and the stronghold of the Haut-Pays at the abbey of Mont Saint-Michel, by Conan Le Tort, Count of Rennes and Duke of Brittany. These “villa” names are specific to the Gallo-Roman era, which also proves the age of the site. Until the Revolution, Villamée remained a priory of the abbey and the parish was administered by a prior appointed by it.

POPULATION CENSUS – Municipality of PARIGNÉ

 

 

Generally, the general population census was carried out every 5 years. However, because of the first and second world wars, the census was not carried out in 1916 and was postponed in 1921. It was the same during the war of 1939-1945, or the census would have been done in 1941, but we were in full German occupation.

 

The Archives of Ille-et-Vilaine have digitized the census registers from 1856 until the last census of 1936. For records after that year, they must be, Normally, kept at the town hall of Parigné, unless they have been transferred to the Departmental Archives which have not yet digitized them.

 

The Château de Passillé having been built in 1881 by Edouard Boullevraye, we have noted the names of the inhabitants of the village of Passillé since 1886 (census year – the previous one being 1876) until 1936.

 

 

1886

 

Passillé :

 

1 –

  • Louis LEGALLE (probably THE GAL), 43 years, stonemason
  • Jeanne JEUSSET, 44 years, his wife
  • Jeanne Marie LEGALLE, 9 years, their daughter
  • Marie Thérèse LEGALLE, 8 years, their daughter
  • Joseph LEGALLE, 7 years, their son
  • Armandine LEGALLE, 5 years, their daughter
  • Hyacinthe LEGALLE, 3 years (gender is not specified, the first name can be assigned to both sexes).
  • Angelina LEGALLE, 2 years, their daughter

 

2 –

  • Edouard BOULLEVRAYE, 47 years, owner
  • Henriette BOULLEVRAYE, 45 years, his wife (her maiden name which is not specified is Antoinette Henriette Turpin de la Tréhardière)

  • Jacques BOULLEVRAYE, 10 years, their son,
  • Marie Louise BOULLEVRAYE, 5 years, their daughter
  • Virginie LEBRUN, 38 years, teacher
  • Marie DESRUES, 20 years, domestic
  • Louis COUDRAIS, 35 years domestic.

 

Built in 1881 (installation of the 1era pierre), the new “castle” has, it seems, welcomed its new owners as soon as the work was completed. They will always be there 15 years later since we find them in the census registers of 1886, 1891 and 1896. We also note that the couple hired a private teacher for the education of their children, which shows a certain ease, and that this teacher, Virginie LEBRUN, will still be in this position in 1891.

 

3 –

  • Auguste REDON, 39 years, private custody
  • Jeanne REDON,40 years, his wife, domestic
  • Edouard REDON, 9 years, their son

 

We can ask ourselves the question of whether this particular guard and his domestic wife were not also in the service of the Boullevraye family.?

  • Virginie LEBRUN, 44 years, teacher
  • Marie Louise BODIN, 31 years, stove
  • Clemence YVON, 12 years, maid

 

We notice that, compared to the census of 1886, the couple's two eldest children joined their parents in Passillé: Henri and Anne Marie. The teacher is still on duty and a cook and a (very young) maid replaced the two servants.

  • Marie Louise BOULLEVRAYE, 14 years, their daughter
  • Josephine LELIEVRE, 21 years, domestic
  • Jean Marie NEW, 23 years, domestic

 

Of their 5 children, three, including two adults, are still domiciled in Passillé. The teacher has left her position and the servant Joséphine LELIEVRE must combine that of cook and maid. As for the servant, Jean Marie NEW, it is very likely that he is responsible for everything relating to the exterior maintenance of the property and the driving of horse-drawn carriages.

 

We will not find the BOULLEVRAYE family during the population census in 1901, which means that she left Passillé between 1896 and 1900/1901.

———————————————————————————————————-

 

What do we know about Edouard BOULLEVRAYE?

 

He was born in Laval on 28 December 1839.

 

He is the son of Théophile Julien BOULLEVRAYE, born in Fougères on 5 January 1813; and Anne GAULTIER, born in Laval on 31 August 1814. The couple got married in Laval in 1836 and is domiciled there Place du Gast. Théophile BOULLEVRAYE does not practice a profession, he is the owner and lives off his income.

 

When he gets married in Laval, at the age of 34 years, Edouard BOULLEVRAYE is said, just like his parents, owner

 

He marries, the 11 July 1864, Antoinette Henriette TURPIN DE LA TRÉHARDIÈRE, sans profession, aged 22 years, born in Laval on 31 December 1841, living in Laval with her parents, rue du Lycée. She is the daughter of Jean Baptiste Turpin de la Tréhardière., trader, born in Laval on 24 fructidor an 9 (11 september 1801) and Henriette Charlotte Duchemin de Scépeaux, born in Laval on 12 July 1810. She comes from a well-known local noble family. The couple got married in Laval in 1837.

 

The bride and groom's witnesses are: Jules Boullevraye, brother of Edward, 26 years, owner; Victor Gaultier de Vaucenay, maternal uncle of the groom, 45 years, owner; Noël Turpin de la Tréhardière, wife's paternal uncle, 76 years, owner; Ambroise Jacques Duchemin de Scépeaux, wife's maternal uncle.

 

After having built the castle of Passillé in 1881 and having resided there until around 1901, Edouard BOULLEVRAYE dies in Saint-Hélier, on the Channel Island of Jersey on 2 January 1897, at the age of 57 years. Buried in Parigné.

 

His wife, Antoinette Henriette TURPIN OF LA TRÉHARDIÈRE dies in Saint-James (Some) the 7 september 1919, aged 77 years old and was buried in Parigné on 10 following.

 

 

 

 

The children of Edouard BOULLEVRAYE and ANTOINETTE HENRIETT TURPIN DE LA TRÉHARDIÈRE

 

In the civil status registers of the city of Laval, we found the following births:

 

  • A stillborn child male, the 25 October 1867,
  • Henriette Marie Anne (commonly called Anne), born on 6 February 1869,
  • A stillborn child male, the 3 February 1870,
  • Louis Marie Jean Baptiste Edouard Henri (commonly called Henryi), born on 19 July 1871. He would have married Marie Sidonie Julie BERNARD DU HAUT-CILLY and would have died in 1952 at the age of 81 years (according to an internet genealogy which gives no more precise information),
  • Mary Magdalene, born on 27 October 1872, died in Thiais (94) the 28 mars 1951,
  • Jacques Augustin Julien, born on 9 avril 1876, married in Paris on 7 February 1901 with Pauline Alice Geneviève GAMBERT.

 

The parents are designated as the owner and domiciled in Laval, rue de Bel-Air

 

The population censuses of Parigné also mention:

 

  • Marie Louise (5 years in 1886, 10 years in 1891) could have been born between 1880 and 1882) and for which we have not found her birth certificate either in Laval or in Parigné where she could have been born.

 

 

LES BOULLEVRAYE AND PASSILLÉ

 

 

Let’s return to Edouard Boullevraye’s father, Théophile Julien, born in Fougères on 5 January 1813. He is the son of Paul Pierre Marie BOULEVRAY, aged 25 years old when his son was born, owner, domiciled rue du Temple in Fougères (revolutionary name of rue Nationale – the Saint-Léonard church was designated as the “Temple of Reason » – and Olive Marie Joseph MAUNOIR.

 

During the declaration of Théophile's birth at the town hall, besides the father present, accompany him as witnesses: Julien François Maunoir, maternal ancestor of the newborn, 62 years, owner; Jean-François Augustin Maunoir, maternal uncle of the child 3th degree, domiciled in Fougères, 60 years old owner.

At the bottom of the register, one of these Maunoirs signed “Mauoir of Passillé »; the father: «Boullevraye elder ».

 

Which suggests that the land of Passillé belonging to the Boullevraye came to them from the Maunoir, either by family inheritance or by acquisition from them.

 

Théophile Boullevraye also had several brothers (Jules, Charles and Augustine). The latter: Augustin Pierre Paul Marie, born in Fougères on 5 mars 1811 which we will talk about later, because he obtained from Mac-Mahon, then President of the Republic proclaimed after the fall of the Second Empire, permission to add to his surname Boullevraye that of Passillé. The judgment rendered on this subject is transcribed below.

 

Théophile BOULLEVRAYE married in Laval, Anne GAULTIER, the 31 August 1814. She was the daughter of Victor Gaultier de Vaucenay, born in Laval on 4 February 1784, owner, and Anne Gombard de Contenard, born in Laval on 27 May 1789. The couple, domiciled on rue du Vieux-Marchis in Laval, was married in Laval on 27 september 1813.

 

-=-

 

The attachment of the BOULLEVRAYE family (whose spelling changes depending on the acts: Boullevraye, Boulevraye, Boullevrais, Boulevrais…), to the land of Passillé is largely confirmed by the Archives of Ille-et-Vilaine which, in the Parigné cadastral matrix covering the period 1823-1913 (ref. 3 P1920), mentions the names of Paul Pierre Marie Boulevrais, then those of his sons Augustin and Théophile and finally of Edouard.

 

Indeed, it turns out that since Paul Boullevraye, many lands of Passillé, and also from the commune of Parigné, belong to him and that these have been transmitted to his descendants. These are lands and heaths, gardens, close, drink, thicket, but also farms in Haut and Bas Passillé. On and distinguish «a pond meadow » which clearly confirms its presence and a “Rochelette Park ". Unfortunately, the total area was not mentioned, but it is certainly important.

 

As for the matrix of built properties of the period 1882-1910 (AD 35 – 3 P 1921), we find again Théophile Boulleraye and his son Edouard. As for the latter, in 1883, a house belonging to him is reported in 1882, which clearly confirms the construction of 1881. He also owns another house in Passillé reported in 1886, as well as a house in Lande-Marais and a water mill in the same village which was demolished in 1885.

 

 

PASSILLÉ ADDED TO THE SURNAME BOULLEVRAYE

 

Judgment in favor of Augustin Boullevraye, cousin d’Edouard

 

15 avril 1875

 

This judgment pronounced by the Fougères court, was transcribed on the Laval birth register of the year 1875, act 542, pages 141 and following. We can read:

Boulevraie de Passillé judgment

 

L'an 1875, the 16 November, We, deputy mayor and by delegation, civil status officer of Laval, capital of the department of Mayenne, have transcribed in accordance with the article 867 of the Civil Procedure Code, the judgment whose content follows:

 

Extract from the minutes of the registry of the civil court of first instance of the district of Fougères in the department of Ille-et-Vilaine, and documents filed therein where the following is written:

 

French Republic – In the name of the French people, the civil court of first instance sitting in Fougères, capital of the district of the same name in the department of Ille-et-Vilaine, sitting in public hearing and judging within the circle of its ordinary powers, rendered the judgment upon request, the content of which follows.

 

Request from the President and judges composing the civil court of first instance of Fougères.

 

Gentlemen,

 

Sir Augustin Pierre Paul Marie Joseph BOULEVRAIS, owner, residing in Saint-Denis-de-Gastines, born in Fougères on 5 mars 1811, for whom domicile is elected in the study of Me Philouze, confessed to Fougères,

 

With the honor of informing you that he took up the chancellery as well as his son, Sir Charles Marie BOULEVRAIS, owner, living in Laval, through Me Froyez, referendum, for the purpose of obtaining authorization to add to their patronymic name that of: of Passillé, so as to be legally called in the future BOULEVRAIE of PASSILLÉ ; that this authorization was granted to them following the decree of Mr. Marshal, President of the Republic (it is Mac-Mahon), dated at Versailles of 26 February 1874, countersigned by the Minister of Justice, Minister of Justice; that this decree was inserted in the 183th Bulletin of Laws 12 mars 1874 under the number 2744, and that during the legal year which followed this insertion, there was no basis for the execution of this decree in any opposition to the litigation of the Council of State, as shown in the attached certificate issued on 19 mars 1875 by the general secretary of the said Council; that as a result, this decree must, in accordance with the law of 11 germinal an 11, be executed according to its form and content and receive its full and complete effect; that family names constitute an essentially hereditary property and form the heritage of children of the same origin; that it is important that all acts of civil status concerning him as well as his children and grandchildren are consistent with each other as to the patronymic name belonging to him today in a definitive manner and thus to preserve the unity of the family, in order to establish a complete correlation and perfect identity between the legitimate direct descendants of a common author;

 

that under the terms of the article 855 of the Procedural Code, combined with the articles 49, 99 and 101 you Code civil, requests for rectification of civil status documents, form by main action, must be brought before the court in whose jurisdiction the documents were drawn up and at whose registry a copy of the register of these documents is deposited, that this rule receives an exception when it concerns a single request aimed at the rectification of the same name on several documents received in different districts; that in this case, the absolute right that each court would have to order separate rectifications could lead to conflicting judgments which it is important to prevent, a contest of jurisdiction causing confusion in the civil status of persons, as well as unnecessary costs for the parties and to determine the court to which the decision of the requested rectification should be devolved in this case;

 

that jurisdiction is then fixed by the principles of common law, in matters of connectivity or indivisibility of actions and by this rule that the judge of the principal must be the judge of the accessory; that the request made by the applicant is unique and indivisible, that its aim is not only the rectification of his birth certificate received in this district, but also that of his marriage certificate, of the birth certificate, the marriage certificate of his son and the birth certificates of his grandchildren, act in which his surname appears by law and which were drawn up in different districts;

 

that the request cannot be divided or retained by any party; that the primitive act, that of the father, whose rectification is mainly requested, necessarily determines the jurisdiction of the Fougères court which can, alone, have the applicant's birth certificate corrected, and consequently order the same rectifications on the acts drawn up subsequently, and bearing the enunciation of his same name; that these principles have been enshrined by the constant jurisprudence of the courts and tribunals.

 

For all these reasons, the exhibitor concludes that the court should declare and order that mention of the aforementioned decree of 26 February 1874, authorizing him and his son, to be called BOULEVRAIE de PASSILLÉ, and the judgment to intervene, will be made in addition to all acts of civil status concerning him, know:

 

  • First of all: of his birth certificate registered at the town hall of Fougères on 6 mars 1811, noting that he was born there on 5 of said month,
  • Secondly: of his marriage certificate with Lady Pierre Thérèze Aglaë de Courdour, registered at the town hall of Saint-Denis-de-Gastines on 9 February 1836,
  • Thirdly: of his son's birth certificate, Mr Charles Boullevraie, registered at the town hall of Saint-Denis-de-Gastines on 27 January 1838,
  • Fourth: of the marriage certificate of the said Mr. Charles Boullevraie, his son, with Mademoiselle Alix Caroline Marie Le Bihannec de Tromenec, registered at Rennes town hall on 13 July 1863,
  • Fifth: of the birth certificate of this Mr. Guy Marie Boullevraie, his grandson, registered at the town hall of Saint-Denis-de-Gastines on 1is August 1864,
  • Sixth: of the birth certificate of Mr. Raymond Marie Boullevraie, his other grandson, registered at Laval town hall on 7 February 1873.

 

Presented at the courthouse in Fougères on 8 avril 1875. In the place, the minute is signed Philouze – Order – Be communicated to the Public Prosecutor, for after its conclusions and on the report which will be made on 15 avril, by Us President that we commit for this purpose, be decided what will belong. Done at the Fougères courthouse on 8 avril 1875. The President of the court signed Moricière.

For the history of this family, we would like to know a little more about this Augustin BOULLEVRAY who to obtain this kind of title, even if he could not be a nobleman under the 3th Republic, must have had serious support at the head of state. MacMahon himself? Legitimist, the President of the Republic was undoubtedly not resistant to this type of favor. His troubles with Republican parliamentarians eventually forced him to resign from his post..
