PINE CASTLE

A multi-faceted site that is both an artist's garden with the "Remarkable Garden" label, featuring a collection of old and botanical roses embellished with sculptures, and a ^16th-century fortified house, the Le Pin site is dedicated to heritage, landscape and contemporary creation, and is run by the Colette Bonzo association. It is also the headquarters of Éditions du Pin and a venue for live performances. Guided tours and commentary are also offered to help visitors better understand both the château and the garden. Plus: the site has gîtes and chambres d'hôtes.
