The
chateau's
keep, built at the end
of XIIth
century was later enhanced by a strong defensive enclosure with
towers.
The chateau was restored around 1560 by Honorat de Savoie, a
loyal lord to the Kings of France. The arcaded gallery built
during the wars of religion around the main courtyard shows the
care devoted to this restoration.
Walking back through its central arch you
can't help but get a feeling of times gone by.
There are good views of
the village from the chateau grounds.
