Castles open this weekend in Charente
14 castles open
Weekend of Saturday, September 12 and Sunday, September 13
14 castles in Charente welcome visitors on the weekend of Saturday, September 12 and Sunday, September 13. For 11 of them we know the Saturday and Sunday hours; the other 3 announce a season covering these dates without publishing a weekly timetable: call before you go.
Opening hours come from the castle’s official website, or from Google when the site does not publish any, and are re-read every ninety days. Seasons are copied word for word from the castle’s website. A castle can close without notice: its entry lists a phone number.
