The Château de Commarin

Country of the regionalist writer Henri Vincenot, who magnificently celebrated this country in his novels, "La Billebaude" and "Le Pape des Escargots", wonderful introductions to this route of the Burgundy Canal, the small village of Commarin also houses a superb castle whose origins date back to the 14th century. It was restored at the beginning of the 18th century by the grandmother of the famous Prince-Bishop of Talleyrand, Napoleon's minister. The 18th century furnished apartments and stables are open to visitors, as is the park.

The Château de Digoine

If the building of the Château itself deserves a visit, you will also enjoy walking in the immense landscaped park that surrounds it, between the pond, the French-style garden, the orange trees in bicentenary crates and the countless palm trees.

The Château de Cormatin

Between Tournus and Cluny, in the heart of South Burgundy, the Château de Cormatin awaits you in the middle of its gardens and its water pieces. The Marquis d'Huxelles had it built at the beginning of the 17th century to testify to its power and prestige: wide moats, turrets, high base with bosses, gunboats and drawbridge, the castle was made to impress. He still succeeds today. Richly restored and furnished, this private castle is open to visitors.

Ruins of Montferrand Castle

Of the castle built by John II de Montferrant in the 13th century, only the outer walls and the keep remain today. From the castle esplanade, you have an unobstructed view of the Doubs valley.

The Château de Tanlay

Built in the 16th and 17th centuries, surrounded by moats in a very beautiful park, the Château de Tanlay is one of the most beautiful Renaissance residences in Burgundy. This is where the TV series Angelica, Marquise of the Angels was shot. Property of the Marquis de Tanlay family from 1705 until today, it completed the very rich interior decoration. The trompe-l'oeil hall and the League Tower, with its surprising frescoes, are particularly interesting. Visits from April to November, 03 86 75 70 61.

The Château des Ducs de Württemberg in Montbéliard

What was the residence of the Dukes of Württemberg between 1397 and 1793 still dominates the city from the top of its rocky spur, imposing with its two monumental round towers.
