This week in the agenda

Château de la Rochebeaucourt stands in Édon (Charente), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 16th century, 19th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

In Édon, Charente, a broad stone base and an orangery are what remain of a Renaissance château rebuilt in neoclassical style during the 19th century. The fire that destroyed it in 1941 left a L-shaped layout of closed arcades, reached today through a courtyard enclosed by iron gates. The site also keeps a passage decorated with late 16th-century carvings, along with old fountains and a basin around the orangery.
