CHÂTEAUX 2021 THE GUIDE


What did the French Revolution ever do for us? Well, for starters, it ejected thousands of aristocrats from their châteaux, allowing us mere mortals an intriguing glimpse into the life, culture and decadence of a bygone age. From the riverside beauties of the Loire Valley to the fairytale castles of Alsace and the hilltop forts of the south-west, there really is something for everyone. As ever, check with each château for Covid restrictions before you visit.
