Journées Européennes du Patrimoine - Visite guidée du Domaine des Arcis

Guided tour: Dame Rosalie Avril de Pignerolle will guide you on your tour and tell you how her husband Arsène, then her son Charles, returned from their immigration to England and transformed Les Arcis to bring it up to date.
You'll cross the centuries and experience with the successive owners the architectural evolution of this place, which has never lost its soul or its beauty.

Guided tour with the castle's owner, commenting on the various restorations carried out. Visit the vast room under the framework of the "grand bâtiment des servitudes", the barn with its Philibert Delorme-style framework, the lower room of the keep, the outside of the château and the pleasure garden.
