    The castle was built during the reign of Louis XI and was completed in 1471. In 1635, it was partially dismantled by Cardinal Richelieu. In the 1980s the castle was bought by a businessman who started to renovate it to make it a hotel, but this project never came to fruition and became the hotel it is today. today than when it was purchased by the Hapimag Group. Popstar Michael JAckson visited the castle in the 1990s and it was rumored that he wanted to buy it.

      A beautiful route full of variety!
      A delightful loop of approximately 8 km that includes everything: views of the Château de Chabenet, a stop at the charming Château du Petit-Broutet, the unique Pont Couvert bridge, and the impressive Viaduc de la Bouzanne.
      The mix of riverbanks, forests, and open fields ensures you'll constantly encounter a new setting. There are plenty of quiet spots along the way to pause and enjoy the surroundings. Definitely recommended for those who enjoy combining culture and nature.

        From the chemin de charrières, which runs along La Bouzanne, you have a fantastic view of the castle above the path.

        The asphalt path is easy to walk on and has little traffic, even in addition to the fantastic view of the castle.

        The best way to get to this path from the castle is to walk to the railway bridge. Then turn left into the dead end before the railway bridge.

        This path, which is also asphalted, leads directly to the chemin de charrières, which you have to follow for about 1 km in the valley to get to the viewing point with a view of the castle.

        Just do it❗
