In the heart of the Charente region lies the elegant Château de La Rochefoucauld, a real gem not to be missed. This imposing castle belongs to one of France’s oldest noble families, which has played a prominent role in French history since the 10th century. Today, the duchess still lives in one of the wings, while the rest of the castle is open to visitors.
During your visit, walk through beautifully decorated rooms, where personal details such as family photos of the duchess give the castle a lively atmosphere. Don’t forget to admire the impressive stone spiral staircase, an architectural masterpiece. An extra fun surprise for little ones: they can dress up as princesses or knights in the extensive dressing up room, making the visit extra special.
