Château de Commarque

Once upon a time in a legendary valley there was a grandiose millefeuille of stones where dungeons and a fortified castle, troglodytes and a prehistoric cave are superimposed on a rocky outcrop in a breathtaking landscape. You will engrave the stone with Cro-Magnon, you will draw with the arc like a knight, you will draw with the pen the poems of the courtly love. You will discover the mysteries of Commarque through games of yesteryear, themed workshops, a great treasure hunt in the form of a thrilling medieval investigation, captivating exhibitions and 3D projections and of course free and guided tours.

New: Universe of feudalism and chivalry, Nature and biodiversity trail, new wooden games.

Nature and biodiversity trail in the valley at the foot of the Château de Commarque

The Commarque valley, a breathtaking green setting, is in reality a remarkable biosphere area with its Natura 2000, ZNIEFF and Grand Site classifications. Here, in this portion of the Grande Beune valley, there are species that cannot be found anywhere else.

Come for example to meet our marsh cows reintroduced into their natural habitat. You can relax in the cool woods or near the ancient spring. This year, the students of the chamber of agriculture carried out a nature and biodiversity trail to highlight the flora and fauna that abound around the Commarque site.
