Château de Lavardens

17th century castle with magnificent details. If possible, you should go visit it, but the outside is nothing but magnificent, with a view of the surrounding countryside. Right next to it is the bell tower of the Saint-Michel church.

The interior of the castle is remarkably spacious and light with 19 different beautiful mosaic floors that are beautifully enhanced by the incoming sunlight. France has no other monument with so many of these beautiful authentic mosaic floors.

A large part of the castle is open to visitors. In addition to many other rooms, the castle has a whisper room (echo room) with special acoustics. The high vaulted ceiling creates an echo that can be heard very well from one corner to the other. This room is rightly called the Salle d'Echo. There are also regular exhibitions of well-known painters, sculptors and other artists.
