Of the 154 castles we list in Yvelines, these 43 have a building campaign from this period, according to the French Ministry of Culture's records.

We record 43 castles, manor houses and strongholds from the Renaissance, spread across 37 towns and villages. The ones with the most visitor reviews are Chateau-Neuf de Saint-Germain-en-Laye (open to visitors), Château de Marly (Marly Castle) (a listed historic monument), Château de Villiers-le-Mahieu (with a restaurant), Château de Plaisir (Plaisir Castle) (797 reviews) and Château de Dampierre (Dampierre Castle) (open to visitors).

13 of them receive visitors, according to their official website or their business listing. We have checked the opening hours of 12 and the prices of 9 of them, and each entry shows the date of that check. 27 of them are listed historic monuments, the highest level of protection in French heritage law. The dominant period is the Renaissance, with 43 buildings. Each entry says what we could verify and what still needs confirming: enough to plan a day that holds together.
