Free visit - Château de Bussy-Rabutin

Nestled in a pretty wooded valley in the Auxois region, near Montbard, come and visit the château de Bussy-Rabutin and the surprising portrait gallery created by a disgraced courtier of King Louis XIV. Stroll around the French-style gardens and enjoy views of the château surrounded by moats.

A colourful character. Count Roger de Bussy-Rabutin (1618-1693), the cousin of Madame de Sévigné, was a soldier, courtier and famous writer. He was exiled from court after exposing the love affairs of his famous contemporaries in his Histoire Amoureuse des Gaules.
