The Château de Saint-Simon dates from the 14th century and was the residence of the famous memoirist Louis de Rouvroy, Duke of Saint-Simon. You can admire the ruins of the castle, as well as the outbuildings (the "little castle"), which are still preserved and classified as historic monuments. You can enjoy panoramic views of the park and ponds surrounding the castle, and explore the surrounding forest and trails. The Château de Saint-Simon is a place where you can immerse yourself in the history and culture of France, and discover the life and writings of one of its most influential authors.
