Did you know ? Le manoir de Bondaroy fut le berceau de deux poètes de la Renaissance, Jean de La Taille (1533-1608) et son frère Jacques (1542-1562). Jean de la Taille a rédigé la première comédie régulière française en prose. La comédie régulière rompt avec la tradition médiévale en respectant des codes d'écriture issus de l'Antiquité. Il s'agit d'un genre typique de la période humaniste. Les humanistes étaient des intellectuels nostalgiques de l'Antiquité qui a été pour eux une importante source d'inspiration.
