CHATEAU DE COMMARIN

The Château can be visited inside and outside every day. Located in Commarin, at the foot of the charming village of Châteauneuf, this property is a journey through time that begins in the ^15th century when it was a fortified castle. Inhabited by the same family for 26 generations, Bertrand de Vogüé, its owner, does everything possible to make this treasure accessible and attractive. Inside, discover architectural and furniture treasures from the ^17th and ^18th centuries, including a splendid collection of heraldic tapestries from the ^16th century and the beautiful library which contains an original edition of Diderot and d'Alembert'sEncyclopedia ! Take a tour of the ^14th century chapel, which houses an interesting terracotta tomb, or the old kitchen with a huge cast iron stove dating from 1880. Outside, admire the two round towers, the moat and the gardens. You can enjoy the immense English-style park, sheltered by its hundred-year-old trees, all year round, until 8 pm on sunny days. It covers more than 35 hectares. Concerts (piano recital, oratorio...) and plays are even organized on certain weekends in this enchanting setting.
