The Anne de Bretagne pavilion, which dates from the 16th century and was restored in the 19th century, had the function of punctuating the walk or marking a picturesque viewpoint. The architecture of the pavilion presents a plan in the shape of an octagon, confined to four square corner pavilions. A spiral staircase is located in one of them. The pavilion houses the oratory. The decor presents a rural repertoire, reminiscent of the original environment of the pavilion. An Italianizing element was produced during the 19th century restoration, above the entrance: a terracotta medallion with the profile of a Roman emperor. The ornamentation of the building presents a rope pattern that recalls the order of the cordelière of Anne of Brittany. Louis XII came to listen to the mass 39 times in the pavilion chapel, compared to 28 at the Saint-Calais chapel of the royal castle.
