Château du Poët-Célard stands in Le Poët-Célard (Drôme), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The château du Poët-Célard stands on a rocky spur facing the Couspeau range, on the edge of the Drôme provençale region. First recorded in 1278, it passed through several noble families, from the counts of Valentinois to the Blaïn family, before being fully restored. The fortified site, roughly 90 metres long and 60 metres wide, now houses reception halls, a chapel and a small hotel rather than a heritage visitor circuit.

What to know

The château today operates mainly as an event venue, hotel and restaurant rather than as a monument open for casual visits.
The on-site restaurant only operates from April to October.
The property can be privatised for weddings or corporate events, which can limit public access at certain times.
It is located in a rural setting on the edge of the Drôme provençale area, roughly 50 minutes from Valence.
No heritage visiting hours or admission fees are published, as the site's current focus is on hosting private events.
