This week in the agenda

Château d'Avanton stands in Avanton (Vienne), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 16th century, 17th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

In Avanton, in the Vienne department, this château combines an early-16th-century Renaissance core with two pavilions added at the end of the 17th century. The square central block stands out for its tall towers resting on recessed corbels. Part of the building collapsed in 1869 following poorly executed repairs, though the vaulted cellars survived, along with flooring salvaged from the former château de Bonnivet.

What to know

The château has been listed as a historic monument since 1927.
The central part dates from the early 16th century, while the two side pavilions were added at the end of the 17th century.
The building now operates as a bed and breakfast, which shapes how much of it can be visited.
