Constructed in the 13th century, this sprawling castle boasts 17 towers, moats, and gardens, creating a striking silhouette against the skyline. Inside, visitors can marvel at the renowned Apocalypse Tapestry, a significant historical artifact. Since 1875, the château has been designated as a French National Monument, preserving its rich heritage for future generations.
