Chateau Jumilhac, Jumilhac-le-Grand

The Château Jumilhac appears high and impressive as you approach. Its dark imposing asymmetric roof of cones and pyramids are in Renaissance style. It combines features from the 12th through to the 19th century. Inside it is decorated with Louis 13th furniture and fireplaces which are reached through its grand staircase. At night it is lit with torches and candles, creating the atmosphere of yesteryear. Its gardens have been beautifully restored using Renaissance concepts around a central basin. In summer it hosts classical concerts.
