The late 15th century Manoir du Pont, with its truncated hexagonal tower, overlooks the village of Abilly. The main body of the privately owned manor house is rectangular, with the hexagonal tower serving as a staircase. There is a big square tower on one corner of the enclosure. There are mullion windows and several carved decorative features such as dragons and fleurons over doors or on the gables.

This is another building we have driven past and ogled at a few times and wondered about its history.
We very very nearly bought a house not far from there... Its downside was it had toooo much land in nearly 3 hectares... Had been a market garden and had alot and I mean alot of fruit trees...
