Weekend of Saturday, September 12 and Sunday, September 13
16 castles in Allier welcome visitors on the weekend of Saturday, September 12 and Sunday, September 13. For 12 of them we know the Saturday and Sunday hours; the other 4 announce a season covering these dates without publishing a weekly timetable: call before you go.
