Found the garden more interesting than the interior of the castle.

Toilet on site, water point, the best!

Very pleasant track, slightly monotonous but it's great

The residence of the Marquis d'Huxelles, built between 1606 and 1625, is home to the most sumptuous Louis XIII apartment preserved in France. Fireplaces, ceilings and wood panelling were painted, carved and gilded with sumptuous exuberance for the favourite of Queen Marie de Medici. Paintings, tapestries and period furniture complete this seductive evocation of "château life" at the time of the "Three Musketeers". The tour also reveals a monumental stone staircase (20 metres high), an 18th century kitchen and the opulent 1900s salons of an opera director. The garden, in the spirit of the Baroque period, offers 12 hectares of flowerbeds, a large boxwood labyrinth with aviary-belvedere, vegetable garden, green theatre, water features and remarkable trees.

Attractive church to visit

Superb little town, all shops and services.

This splendid village is home to several remarkable buildings, such as the Cluniac priory (13th century) and the wash houses. A short walk is an opportunity to admire the lava roofs, gallery houses and dry stone walls.

Saint-Gengoux-le-National owes its medieval town to the dual supervision exercised by the Abbey of Cluny and by King Louis VII from the 12th century. Walking through the streets of this city is a real pleasure, it has managed to preserve its urban, architectural and landscape heritage.
