Built in the 14th century, the Château de Crazannes is listed as a Historic Monument. It belonged to the Comte de Caravaz, Jules Gouffier, who inspired Perrault for the creation of the master of Puss in Boots, the Marquis de Carabas. A rereading of the tale is essential before visiting the castle and its magnificent garden!
