Magnificent sculpted and painted decorations from the Renaissance.
Built in the 16th century, this Château in the Bourbonnais region has a sculpted interior decoration characteristic of the second French Renaissance. All the rooms are decorated with murals from 1560-1570 taking inspiration from classical art. They depict mythological and astronomical themes.
Outside of the château, the tour continues freely in the repository of ancient vines from Chareil and Saint-Pourçain vineyards.
