The site opens its doors to the public on the quays of the river Charente throughout the year. Behind the stone walls – birthplace of Francis I – visitors can discover a series of rooms decorated in Gothic and Renaissance style bearing witness to centuries past.

Last of all, there is a blind tasting of VSOP and XO D’Ussé. It’s a sensory experience that is as unique as the drinks that are served!
