Guided tours, booking required
Built around 1407, the château has passed through six centuries without ever ceasing to be lived in. The tour retraces its history, from the Benoist family, who held it until the 19th century, through to its hosts today, showing how each era left its mark. Two things hold the attention: the 15th-century armour, whose use and craftsmanship the discussion brings to life, and the great gallery of stained glass, whose coloured light travels across the walls as the hours pass.
