About Chateau de la Roche Courbon
Add to favoritesNicknamed "Sleeping Beauty's Castle" by the writer Pierre Loti (who helped save it from oblivion), this estate is famous for its "hanging" French gardens. Indeed, to overcome the marshy nature of the land, the gardens were built on wooden stilts, a remarkable feat of 17th-century engineering. The castle itself, surrounded by a moat, presents a harmonious façade reflecting the French art of living. In addition to the gardens, the site boasts prehistoric caves located within the park, which are open to visitors. The castle's interior is fully furnished and inhabited, notably featuring a superb period kitchen. The current owners have preserved the spirit of the place, creating a perfect balance between nature, history, and culture.
Tip for an even more exceptional visit.
Children will particularly enjoy the "Old-Fashioned Games Trail" made of wood in the outbuildings, ideal for a fun break between two historical visits.
