This room is covered with a groined vault, decorated with wall paintings with plant motifs and rosettes, treated in grisaille. If the function of this room is unknown, what makes it charming is the acoustic singularity that characterizes it. Far from the phenomenon of the echo produced by the repetition of a sound, it is rather a question here of the way in which a person who whispers turned facing an angle of this room, is heard very distinctly by another person, positioned facing the opposite angle. Willingness resulting from a precise calculation, on the part of the architects, or fruit of chance, if not coincidence linked to the layout of the premises? For the time being no one can explain, which nevertheless enchants everyone and makes this room a place of disturbing experience.
