Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
Perched on a rocky spur above the Rhône, Tournon castle combines remnants dating back to the 10th century with extensive Renaissance buildings raised in the 16th century. Once the residence of the lords of Tournon and later used as a prison until 1926, it now houses a museum devoted to decorative arts, painting and local heritage. Visitors can see the courtyard of honour, the Beauregard tower, a chapel with a triptych, and a room recalling Hélène de Tournon, whose story Ronsard put into verse.
