The Salon des Thés invites you to daydream while enjoying some sweet treats on the terrace gardens.
Jumilhac-le-Grand is set in rolling greenery: the château overlooks the Isle gorges on the historic Richard the Lionheart route, named after the illustrious king who, after attacking Jumilhac and Hautefort, met his death at the siege of Châlus-Chabrol in 1199. Remodeled during the Renaissance, then transformed in the 17th century, it was bought in 1927 by the Jumilhac family, who have been restoring it ever since, even creating a tea room in 2021. The terraced gardens, renovated in the French style, are well worth a visit. Summer evenings are enlivened by shows and nocturnes.

Un livret explique les salles visitables, très intéressant !
Accueil très souriant et plein d'énergie de la part de celle qui se qualifie de factotum, passionnée par les lieux.
Le guide papier est un brin rustique et mériterait un schéma de situation pour commencer dans la cour.
Les salles de bois sont magnifiques. Elles en imposent et montrent ce que l'artisanat a de plus beau et de plus noble.
Quel frisson au passage par la chambre dans laquelle fut emprisonnée par son mari Louise de Hautefort. Les peintures murales dont il se raconte qu'elle les aurait peintes sont le témoin surprenant d'une tragique histoire.
La collection de cuivres de cuisine est aussi un beau témoignage du temps.
Franchement une belle découverte.
Je retire une étoile car 26,5€ pour 2 adultes et un enfant en très basse saison me semble trop élevé. A ce prix, j'aurais attendu un audioguide.
Cela étant, je recommande cette visite.
Les mâchicoulis, ainsi que la charpente peut se visiter : c'est un moment exceptionnel accompagné par une guide qui sait laisser la place à l'histoire tout en nous laissant le temps d'admirer les pièces ou le paysage par les fenêtres.
Visite à faire absolument !
