Built between 1594 and 1630, Ribemont-Mornay castle, a sentinel of Saintonge, replaced a feudal castle where Bertrand Duguesclin stayed. It was successively occupied by the Chaumont, Ligoure and Aubenton families... Surrounded by a wide moat, the château stands at the end of a vast park, two of whose magnificent trees are listed as "Remarkable Trees of France". Enter via the imperial tower, which houses a ribbed porch, and cross the old drawbridge to reach the main courtyard and its stone crown. The Richelieu and Chaumont towers, quadrangular towers with machicolations, protect the luminous gallery, During your stay, you can explore the vaulted rooms, the alchemical coffered room and the room with the painted ceiling... Watched over by the 14th-century Thistle Tower, the park, dotted with statues, and its paths are an invitation to stroll and escape.
