To make a day of it

Château Galimard stands in Burzet (Ardèche), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: Middle Ages, 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Set apart from the village of Burzet in the Ardèche, Château Galimard stands on a hillside above the Bourges river. This fortified house combines a residence with a working farm around an inner courtyard, where a spring was turned into a decorative grotto in the 17th century. Inside, visitors can still find a monumental fireplace in the kitchen, French-style ceilings and stone paving, while a tower houses the central staircase beneath a wooden dome. The chapel, though damaged, retains part of its painted wall decoration.
