Castles to visit Yonne

The current castle dates back to about 1560, and on one side, a three-storey façade overlooking the Armançon River retains its defensive appearance. On the other hand, a lawn and a porch on the first floor were added in the following centuries. Inside, the decor is contemporary with the great-great-grandparents of the current owner. To see: the chimneys in the lower rooms and on the main floor are impressive for their large coats. The wide flights of stairs, whose ramp comes from the Buffon forges, replaced a narrow central staircase at the end of the 17th century. The panelling added in the 18th century in the dining room, the octagonal room fitted out to receive Marshal Davout with dignity, or the billiard room (with its magnificent lion-headed pool table) are just a few examples of the many interior installations that have transformed, over the centuries, this bastion of religious wars into a pleasure residence. The objects date from the 16th century to 1910 and all come from the castle. Also interesting is the venerable room (with old crew clothing), an inner well, a bread oven and a room dedicated to Buffon, who stayed here several times.

A medieval castle of the th century and a th century Renaissance castle, opposite with a beautiful rose garden, is an unforgettable setting. The municipalities are the th, just like the Moroccan pavilion. The main activity is the rental, for sumptuous holidays or weddings, castles and the pavilion as well as twenty-four high-class rooms up to 200 m 2 but it is still possible to visit by appointment. One of the largest pigeonholes of the 2 844 th century with its boulins, was arranged in a bridal room on three levels. It is rented only during marriages. The first level is dedicated to baths, the second to sleep and observing the stars, the third is a circular circular mezzanine. In 1548, the castle of Des was bought by the Marshal of Saint-André. He commanded a new castle to Pierre Lescot, the architect who managed the square courtyard of the Louvre. It was the property of the Condé, the two buildings, the medieval and the Renaissance, until the th century. The castle also welcomes a unique wedding in an unforgettable setting.
