The exquisite furnishings and fabulous collections of paintings, tapestries and books is not something that you come across very often.Admire the:

• Sculpted ceiling.
• The grand staircase leading to the library upstairs.
• Antique furniture such as the Henry IV ebony cabinet.

The castle organizes activities such as themed visits, night visits etc. from time to time, to let visitors feel the true essence of the history of the castle.

Boasting a schist and tufa façade, the castle is a true blue example of Renaissance French architecture, where lavatories are concealed within closets and bathrooms hidden behind cupboards!
