32 of them receive visitors, according to their official website or their business listing. We have checked the opening hours of 28 and the prices of 21 of them, and each entry shows the date of that check. 34 of them are listed historic monuments, the highest level of protection in French heritage law. The dominant period is the Middle Ages, with 149 buildings. Each entry says what we could verify and what still needs confirming: enough to plan a day that holds together.
