The château de l'Épervière stands in Gigny-sur-Saône, in Saône-et-Loire, on a site that held a succession of medieval strongholds. The present building dates from the late 18th century, raised by baron François-Julien Geramb over the ruins of an earlier structure. Its south front features a rounded projecting bay that contrasts with the classical restraint of the other façades. It is best appreciated from outside, set within its moat and a park with an ornamental pond.
