Castles open during the autumn half-term holidays in Drôme

5 castles open

From Saturday, October 17 to Monday, November 2, all French school zones

5 castles in Drôme open during the autumn half-term holidays according to their hours or season: 3 with precise opening days, 2 on their announced season only. Check the castle’s website the day before; holiday hours change often.

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.
