About

The Château de La Rochefoucauld, situated in the tranquil town of La Rochefoucauld in the Charente region, is a magnificent example of French Renaissance architecture that has stood since the 11th century. Visitors can stroll through its storied towers, vaulted halls, and beautifully landscaped gardens, gaining insight into the centuries‑long legacy of the La Rochefoucauld family. The castle welcomes the public daily from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., except on Tuesdays and during the annual holiday period from January 5 to February 6. Adults pay a modest €2 admission fee, while children under 12 enter free of charge. In mid‑September the château hosts Heritage Days, during which it remains open until 7:00 p.m. and offers the same €2 ticket price, making it an affordable cultural outing for locals and tourists alike.
