THE CHÂTEAU & GARDEN OF BOURNAZEL

Located in the west of the department of Aveyron, between Rodez and Villefranche de Rouergue, Château of Bournazel’s innovative architecture and the quality of its sculpted decoration make it one of the most remarkable Renaissance châteaux in the South of France.

Enriched with period furniture, objets d’art and paintings, this château and its garden plunge the visitor into the humanistic and literary atmosphere of the Renaissance – a golden century forever lost.
