1 of them receive visitors, according to their official website or their business listing. We have checked the opening hours of 1 and the prices of 1 of them, and each entry shows the date of that check. 5 of them are listed historic monuments, the highest level of protection in French heritage law. The dominant period is the Classical period, with 7 buildings. Each entry says what we could verify and what still needs confirming: enough to plan a day that holds together.
