This beautiful castle overlooks the village of Frontenay from afar.

This beautiful castle, which overlooks the village of Frontenay, is very far Away. It dates back to the th century. At that time, only the cellars remained. It was rebuilt in the th century and additions were made in the th and th centuries. Still inhabited by the descendants of Gauthier de Fallerans, equerry of the lords of Chalon-Arlay in the fifteenth, it is perfectly preserved. The castle, which has beautiful rooms (three lounges, a large hall and four rooms in the Donjon), welcomes groups in the hotel. A cave has been set up to worship Notre-Dame de Lourdes. Outsiders are open to pedestrians. At the foot of the castle you can see the Romanesque church Sainte-Marie-Madeleine, reworked in the th century. It is preceded by a boardwalk of trees, classified. Cultural events are organised in summer and throughout the year, including a jazz festival that will celebrate its 10 years in 2017. To find out more about the program, visit the castle website and visit August 24 - 26, 2017.

I never visited the castle and the small cave (Doors?) is nice.
The cemetery and its shaded pathway (old access to the castle?) are superb.
The tomb of the writer Bernard Clavel is on the right on entering the cemetery.
Beautiful church...
A relaxing place ; O)
We visited this square at the time of our summer holidays. The place is very pretty and maintained indeed but for visited, it is zero. The visit is short: you are told the history of this castle in the garden which faces, speak about its architecture. Then you enter the lobby: a few words, then this is a lounge that we discover: a few words on the genealogy of the owners of the place. Then let us chain we with a function room and the description of the room (wood panelling, furniture) and finish with the music room on which tells us nothing but we have the opportunity to live concert rehearsal classical music. We chose this visit the reading a brochure offered by the Tourist Office and in which was written that the visit ended in a drink and a snack offered by the owner and taken on the terrace of the castle. Entry price: €8 Per adult. We were 25 adults and children. Duration of the visit: less than one hour from explanation and 2/3 rooms. Refreshments and snack: 2 litres of San Pe + 2 litres of fruit juices and a tiny piece of chocolate cake (" if there is something for everyone " it; , heard) for more than 30 visitors. I think that there are other places to discover. Le Jura has many interesting sites but I prefer to forget this.
