Puyguilhem Castle Ticket
Why Visit Château de Puyguilhem?
This majestic mansion residence, a masterpiece of the French Renaissance, invites you to explore its splendor at your own pace with this ticket. Acquired by the jurist Pierre Mondot de la Marthonie in 1510, the castle underwent a transformation from a defensive fortress to a sumptuous Renaissance abode.
As you wander through the rooms of Château de Puyguilhem, immerse yourself in the decorative taste of Pierre Mondot de la Marthonie, a figure closely associated with Louise of Savoy, the mother of King Francis I. In 1515, he became the first president of the Parliament of Paris, marking a significant chapter in French history.
The entrance ticket grants you access to various rooms within the castle, including the kitchens and bedrooms where illustrious figures of Renaissance France once slept. Don't forget to gaze out from the castle's windows, offering breathtaking panoramic views of Villars.
