Castles open during the Christmas holidays in Saône-et-Loire

13 castles open

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

13 castles in Saône-et-Loire open during the Christmas holidays according to their hours or season: 11 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.
