Castles open during the Christmas holidays in Hérault

22 castles open

From Saturday, December 19 to Monday, January 4, all French school zones

22 castles in Hérault open during the Christmas holidays according to their hours or season: 18 with precise opening days, 4 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.
