    • Along the Bunting, step back in time for a walk of about 1 hour. This walk will take you back to the time of prehistoric men on the privileged area of ​​La Roche Courbon, in the middle of a wild and unspoiled nature. You will discover reconstituted camps of Homo Erectus (Héhé camp), Neanderthals and Homo Sapiens (Osapi camp, Ramého camp). Imagine making a fire with Neanderthals to meet in the caves!

      At each camp, as well as in the caves, informative panels present the evolution of prehistoric men in our territory, from the arrival of Homo Erectus until the beginning of the Iron Age. Information concerning botany is also visible.

      Ti’Silex offers puzzles during the course. A playbook helps children follow him in his adventures throughout the ride. We also offer a printed guide with additional information to complete your visit.


      Live a moment out of time!

      Warning: bring shoes suitable for walking (hiking type path)

    A very beautiful castle with an interesting history linked to French literature as well as historic battles. It has the mist amazing hand-painted ceilings I've ever seen. Photos are not permitted inside this privately-owned château. The guided tour of the inside is recommended; the very lovely gardens are visited on one's own. Guided tour is in French with written information in several languages. We spent a very enjoyable Sunday afternoon here, including an ice cream at the food stall.

    Beautiful castle and gardens, but we only got to see 4 or 5 rooms on the tour, and photos were not permitted inside. We were not free to explore the inside on our own, but we could roam outside at our leisure. The nearby snack bar had delicious ice cream and pastries, among other items.

    Definitely worth a visit! Take the short walk to the prehistoric caves and then spend time in the beautiful grounds. Take care however to check the website as in the summer it often closes early for weddings.
