This castle offers a visit to learn more about the Great Century of Louis XIV.

"Moreover, I know that, when [love] wants to insinuate itself, it makes use mainly of the eyes [...], which it would undoubtedly not do if it did not know that of all the senses, the eyes are the most susceptible [...]" writes Count Roger de Bussy-Rabutin in his warning "To the reader" ofHistoire amoureuse des Gaules. The author, wanting to put an end to the prejudice that love is blind, means that love is born of beauty. This is because he experienced the splendors and miseries of a courtier! A renowned military figure, he was also a man of letters, with his Histoire amoureuse des Gaules and his epistolary writings linking him to his cousin the Marquise de Sévigné. An Academician, Bussy was also, and above all, a libertine who was twice exiled: for having been a libertine by taking part in an orgy during Holy Week in 1659, and for having described libertinage in his book. During these exiles, the Count returned to his Burgundian lands. In the midst of these magnificent landscapes, he recreated his world through portraits. Enter the walls of this Renaissance-style château to contemplate portraits of men of war, women of the French court and statesmen in the salon de la tour dorée, or the galerie des rois et des ducs de Bourgogne. On your way out, visit the French gardens, which have been awarded the Jardins Remarquables label. It's a must-see visit that will give you a better understanding of the Grand Siècle of Louis XIV, in the footsteps of one of France's most colorful historical figures!

Ne ratez pas ce charmant château ! Je vous recommande vivement de prendre la visite guidée. C'est là que la magie opère, grâce à un guide, un véritable maître du voyage dans le temps agrémenté d'une bonne dose d'humour. Vous aurez l'impression de remonter les siècles.

Très jolie demeure du Grand siècle sur une assise médiévale. Les guides sont truculents et la galerie de portraits annotés à ne pas rater.
