    Un superbe château à visiter en famille ainsi que les jardins. Le site test très bien entretenu à l'intérieur et extérieur. De nombreuses informations sont disponibles dans les pièces du château dont la rénovation reste en cours et un château toujours abrité par une famille française qui préserve notre patrimoine historique ! Merci à vous. Vous pouvez parcourir le site avec des audio guides individuels et facile d'utilisation (dès 6 ans) ou bien utiliser une solution partagée avec un smartphone. Les contenus sont riches d'informations et d’anecdotes. Prévoir minimum 1h00 pour la visite mais vous pouvez davantage compter 2h00-2h30 en parcourant les panneaux et les jardins. Nous avons également observé le site mérite depuis la Vésère en canoé, à faire également (#Canoé Family),
