Today the castle welcomes visitors on immersive guided and free tours that travel through 14 rooms, a 17th‑century Cabinet Mythologique, and the legendary chamber of the White Lady. Locals and tourists alike are drawn to the intricate tapestries, original furnishings, and stories that have cultivated a unique family legacy of over 600 years.
