One of the best-maintained castle complexes I have ever visited. Everything is clean, well explained and in perfect shape. This castle is well worth the detour and highly recommended.
You should allow 1-2 hours for your visit.

A fine example of a fortified château. All very well explained and very well laid out. I will happily go back to see it again. We went round twice but I am sure we still missed a few things. All the rooms have something special but the kitchen was a real gem. 11 euros entry, a really good price for such a well maintained piece of history. Sadly, no pictures of the inside because it is not allowed. The guide book is worth a look.

This is a really good half day out for anyone.
The château is largely intact and retains many of its original features, guiding you through these as you move around the visit. (The plaques are in French but translations are provided on paper). The tour covers both the decor of the château along with information on its military importance and history.
There are two car parks with the nearest boasting picnic tables so I would definitely go there if you are looking for a picnic spot.

Another beautiful Château in this area. Spectacular views and access to a lot of the rooms which is great. Ask for an English guide at the entrance which gives you a translation of all the information boards in the rooms. We were there for 1 hour and that was sufficient to see everything.

Best chateau in the region. Fully furnished, numerous original artifacts on display, excellent self guided tour in English or French. And not mobbed with tourists. Better than Beynac or Biron.

Fun castle to visit. We were here in October with two teenage kids. We would’ve liked an audio tour but the written descriptions were also very informative. We like how each room is decorated with lots of details in each in its own style.
