Château de Suze-la-Rousse
Tourist service in Suze-la-Rousse :
Step through the gates of this rather impressive stronghold and there you are: the Renaissance court yard with its delicate decors is yours! The recreative park filled with ancient trees and the castle’s apartments await your visit.From a simple keep with a defensive tower, the château was transformed into a powerful fortress in the late Middle Ages. The Renaissance marked the apogee of the château: a courtyard of honor and new apartments were created, while a park was laid out with a palm hall.
On September 21, 1564, the future King Charles IX, accompanied by his mother Catherine de Médicis and the court, was received here by the Seigneur de Suze, François de La Baume.
A century later, the château became a holiday home. Large windows opened onto the landscape and new decorations adorned the rooms.
Today, the château is a tourist attraction open all year round, offering fun activities and tours for all ages.
