    What a beautiful Chateau! So nice to see one almost intact full of antique furnishings and with a long history. The position on top of the hill and the gorgeous gardens were another bonus. The restaurant was very good too with lots of choice for vegetarians and at affordable prices. Definitely worth a visit.

    A fine chateau to visit. Extensive restoration work over many years. Very badly fire damaged in 1968. Interesting historical stories to read about. Formal gardens and parklands to wander around.

    What a beautiful chateau and well worth a visit. Affordable at €12 for adults. It is also close to the town of Hautefort We had a lovely day out with our young adult son who enjoyed it too. We all had a galette in the court yard cafe which was delicious and surprisingly very filling, definitely worth a visit if you live or are visiting the area.
