Guided Tour of Cormatin Castle
Surrounded by large moats, the castle built in 1606, impresses by the monumentality of its military-style facades. It contains an architectural feat, an empty staircase 21 m high, the oldest and largest in this technique. The apartments, painted, sculpted and gilded with pomp in 1627-28 offer the most complete and best preserved testimony to the decorative art of the time of Marie de Medici. Furniture, paintings, tapestries and period objects make the evocation very attractive.

On 10 ha, the gardens restored from 1990 offer the different atmospheres of a park of the early seventeenth century: vast flowered parterre, maze of boxwood with aviary-belvedere, groves, theater of greenery, vegetable garden and pieces of water.
