Introduction

The castle, built in the Middle Ages, was transformed into a pleasure castle in the 18th century. Inhabited and preserved by the same family for 500 years, its visit allows us to go back in time, to find the refined atmosphere of the century of the Lights. Decorations, furniture, and historical souvenirs testify to the art of living of the Dauphiné nobility in 1 750.

The castle’s interiors are followed by a visit to the gardens, animated by the spectacle of living water in the Italian-style water staircase, a masterpiece of 18th-century garden design. The water staircases are listed as historical monuments.
