86 châteaux listed · verified entries first, then the most visited; alphabetical index at the bottom of the page

Of the 250 castles we list in Vienne, these 86 have a building campaign from this period, according to the French Ministry of Culture's records.

We record 86 castles, manor houses and strongholds from the Renaissance, spread across 71 towns and villages. The ones with the most visitor reviews are Château de Fougeret (Fougeret Castle) (on the historic monuments register), Domaine du château (open to visitors), Château d'Avanton (Avanton Castle) (you can stay the night), Château de Bourg-Archambault (Bourg-Archambault Castle) (a listed historic monument) and Château de Clairvaux (Clairvaux Castle) (free entry).

5 of them receive visitors, according to their official website or their business listing. We have checked the opening hours of 2 and the prices of 2 of them, and each entry shows the date of that check. 22 of them are listed historic monuments, the highest level of protection in French heritage law. The dominant period is the Renaissance, with 86 buildings. Each entry says what we could verify and what still needs confirming: enough to plan a day that holds together.
