Fortified House of Reignac

Most unusual visit of an historical unique château. Free to wander around the house from the ground floor to upper levels built along the natural cliff. The house has fireplaces, all burning wood that makes you feel being one of the guests in the house. Lots of artifacts, about prehistoric period, furniture, dishes, costumes,... This visit is quite interesting for the whole family.

We had a fantastic day out! We could have spent even longer here! All the rooms in the Manor are carefully laid out with antiques. There were even real fires going. It’s really atmospheric. There are several layers cut high into the rock, with higgledy stairs in between. Incredible view from the top. There is an excellent trail for children and teens which you download as an app. Just as excellent in English. The kids 10-14 loved this. A ghost, a cat, an alchemist. The mansion was inhabited from 1386-1931. We did not bother with the torture exhibition.

It's a short journey down the road from Le roc St. Christophe, which I visited a couple of years ago and again it takes you back to an earlier age. As the name suggests it's a fortified house, built into the caves, with the room furnished with items from different eras of the house's existence. There's exhibits from the stone age, including finds from the caves and the guidebook takes you through some of the houses owners, including some with particularly nasty ways, reinforced by the torture exhibit at the end.

Very nice castle, if you have a baby don’t take a stroller but a carrying sling.

We visited on a rainy day with very few other people around; the path leading up is a bit slippery in these conditions. Once inside there is so much to see, every space has displays of items from 20000 years to 100 years ago. And as for the instruments of torture exhibition😳

Visited a few castles this week and this was the best. Atmospheric, well explained with an English guide pamphlet and lovely views. Reasonable price Vs some others we've seen and quite a lot to see. Recommended.

This is the best museum I've seen I'm my life. The whole fortified house comes to live with multiple fireplaces burning wood making smoke and giving the ambience of the chateau, with amazing sound effects throughout the house, with real food and also real instruments and artifacts from back in the day. And so much more. We also love the last exhibition of the medieval torture devices, also real devices. The stuff was super nice. We spend 4 hours inside. I truly appreciate all the effort put in to this museum!! HIGH RECOMMEND THE VISIT 🥰♥️

This was one of the most interesting places we visited in France. Insane amount of history arranged in an easy to digest way (even for kids). Half cave - with dramatic rock walls and views - and half medieval castle. I still cannot believe that the fire was on in the grand fireplaces on each floor. What an atmosphere!
