Château De La Rochefoucauld is undoubtedly one of France's finest Renaissance châteaux to discover!

Majestic and steeped in history, Château de La Rochefoucauld is one of the most remarkable Renaissance châteaux still inhabited in France. As soon as you enter the gates of this residence, you are gripped by a special emotion: that of entering a place that is still alive, at the heart of the La Rochefoucauld family, who have owned it for over a thousand years.
This château offers an exceptional plunge into history: its chapel boasts a fresco created by a local artist recounting the lineage of this emblematic family. Its monumental staircase, boudoir once occupied by Marguerite de Valois, and vast kitchen bear witness to a past both prestigious and intimate. The library (18th century) is a veritable cavern of knowledge, housing works on a wide range of subjects, from politics to history and science.
Among the château's most spectacular architectural treasures are the three Italian-style galleries, superimposed in the courtyard, which are a rarity in France. Recent restoration work has also made it possible to open the Countess de Polignac's bedroom and en-suite bathroom to the public, adding a new dimension to the visit.
As you wander through the rooms, you are invited to stroll, to feel the life of the château and to immerse yourself in a living, welcoming heritage. A visit to Château de La Rochefoucauld is a unique experience, where every nook and cranny tells a story, and every detail arouses admiration and emotion.

Majestueux château, à visiter si vous en avez l'opportunité. Attention, fermé le mardi.
12 euros par adulte, 6 pour les 4 à 12 ans et gratuit pour les plus jeunes.
Ne pas rater les créneaux de visite de la bibliothèque et des archives. Ils vous sont annoncés à l'entrée.

Magnifique château mais affligeant niveau information historiques et culturelles. Uniquement des portraits de familles anciens et contemporains. Pas de guide d’audioguide ni la moindre explications des pièces ouvertes au public .
