The Faverges castle was bought for 700 gold écus in 1569

Louis Milliet bought the castle and the seigneury of Faverges from Louise de Savoie in 1569. This acquisition made for 700 gold écus, representing 50,000 florins, allowed him to subsequently obtain the honorary title of marquis. The family kept the estate for five generations until the last marchioness, Catherine Milliet, left the premises for Turin in 1790.
