# Château de La Rochefoucauld

La Rochefoucauld-en-Angoumois, Charente, Nouvelle-Aquitaine

Château de La Rochefoucauld stands in La Rochefoucauld-en-Angoumois (Charente), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 12th century, 15th century, second quarter of the 16th century, first half of the 18th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

At La Rochefoucauld, on a rock overlooking the Tardoire river, an 11th-century keep formed the base for a Renaissance residence built from 1520 onward by François II de La Rochefoucauld. The inner courtyard is notable for its galleries stacked on three levels, a layout drawn from Italian palace design and unusual in France. The visit runs from the 17th-century entrance pavilion through the old fortified gatehouse to a terrace overlooking the town, passing a formal garden with a marble basin brought from the château of Gaillon.
