Château de Bouquéron, located in Corenc in the Isère region, is a residence whose origins date back to the 12th century. Extensively modified in the 15th century by Claude Coct, treasurer of the Dauphiné, it underwent several phases of transformation that modernized its architecture during the 17th and 18th centuries. Now listed as a historical monument, it preserves remarkable elements of its interior decoration.
