The upper floors are organised around a spectacular spiral stone staircase, a true architectural masterpiece leading to the impressive guard room beneath a magnificent exposed timber roof structure rising to approximately fifteen metres in height. This extraordinary space perfectly illustrates the grandeur and authenticity of the château. The estate extends across approximately 37 hectares of preserved land, composed of meadows, woodland and open natural areas. The surrounding landscape offers absolute tranquillity and uninterrupted views over the Aven valley, creating a unique atmosphere of serenity and exclusivity. Numerous outbuildings further enhance the remarkable character of the estate.
