This stately castle has belonged to the same family, the La Rochefoucauld, for more than a thousand years. The chateau de La Rochefoucauld by the quality, the elegance and the variety of its architecture is considered as one of the most beautiful of France.

Parts of La Rochefoucauld chateau are open to the public, and highlights include the beautiful 16th century staircase, highly ornate Renaissance detailing in the ceiling and windows, and the courtyard with its Italianate archways.
