Vaugirard Castle

Vaugirard Castle

Champdieu-Montbrison

A château listed as a Historic Monument, its architecture is typical of early 17th-century pleasure castles. The perfect harmony of the construction and the perspective created by the three-hundred-year-old driveway are particularly noteworthy. The grounds date from the 19th century. The grand rooms are adorned with French-style ceilings and Baroque fireplaces. Unique frescoes depict the Grand Carrousel of Louis XII.
