We have checked the opening hours of 6 and the prices of 5 of them, and each entry shows the date of that check. 6 of them are listed historic monuments, the highest level of protection in French heritage law. The dominant period is the Classical period, with 43 buildings. Each entry says what we could verify and what still needs confirming: enough to plan a day that holds together.
