Château de Charmes-sur-l'Herbasse stands in Charmes-sur-l'Herbasse (Drôme), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 14th century, 19th century). Adult admission costs 15 EUR. Its opening hours and prices were verified at the source on August 16, 2026.
Overlooking the Herbasse valley some twenty kilometres north of Valence, this castle with roots going back to the 14th century tells a long story of successive transformations, from its feudal beginnings to a Renaissance-style refinement. Carefully restored after years of neglect, the private residence now welcomes visitors to admire period furniture, fireplaces and gardens gradually brought back to their former appearance. Highlights include a wooden staircase in neo-Gothic style and grounds featuring restored ponds and parkland.
