The city is worth a visit

Located in the heart of Burgundy, this castle is listed as a Historic Monument. This former fortified barn, which became a fortified castle in the 12th and 13th centuries, was offered at the end of the 15th century by the Duke of Burgundy Philip the Bold to his wife Margaret of Flanders. It was she who transformed the old building into a luxurious residence. Since 1970, it has been possible to visit this place, as refined as it is discreet.

Jambles has belonged to the Abbey of Cluny since the 9th century. A writing by Saint Vincent de Chalon from 1263 mentions the presence of a hospital that received the sick, the homeless, and travelers at the place called Maison-Dieu in Jambles. At its center is a pretty fountain near a cross.

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.

Reminiscence of Henri IV. Interesting exhibitions today.

Long before the discovery of electricity and the inventions associated with it, our ancestors discovered the possibility of harnessing the power of the elements - which could be useful on the one hand, but could also be a threat as a force of nature on the other - for various purposes. A good example of the human inventiveness of earlier generations is such a mill: the heavy millstones used to grind grain or press oil, for example, could be powered by water or - as here - the wind. Hardly any of them still fulfil their original functions today, but fortunately some have at least survived as evidence of the old days.
