A medieval château set in the woodland above the hamlet, the seat of the Lords of Chabanais since the eleventh century. The main façade presents a handsome ensemble of towers and curtain walls in the pale limestone typical of this part of the Drôme, surrounded by old oaks and chestnut trees that keep the interior cool in summer. The whole ensemble feels deeply rooted in the landscape — not a tourist attraction so much as a place that has simply been here forever.
The château is privately owned and not regularly open to visitors, but it can be admired from the lane below, and the grounds sometimes open during the Journées du Patrimoine in September, France's annual heritage weekend. If you happen to be in the area during those two days in mid-September, it is worth timing your visit accordingly. The interior reportedly retains original furniture and documents from successive noble families, none of whom ever quite managed to modernize the place.
