Early 17th-century pavilion, the last vestige of Guillaume Fouquet de la Varenne's château.

Guillaume Fouquet de la Varenne, who became Lord of La Flèche after Henry IV granted him ownership of the property, began building a vast residence, probably to the designs of Louis Métezeau, the King's architect. The castle backed onto the Grande Rue, with gardens in front, crossed by a canal that joined the Loir. The courtyard of the château was flanked by two pavilions, only one of which remains, recently restored and the only evidence of the splendour of this residence, which was destroyed between 1817 and 1820. The fine houses lining the even-numbered side of rue de la Tour d'Auvergne now stand on the site of the outbuildings.
