To make a day of it
Château d'Échoisy stands in Cellettes (Charente), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
The château d'Échoisy stands in the commune of Cellettes, in the Charente department. The surrounding estate is not presented to visitors in the usual heritage sense: since late 2021 it has been home to a group of around twenty households running an ecological and social transition project. People come here less to admire listed architecture than to walk through a living site, with its old lime kilns and its farm.
