Château de Bouthéon

The first historical traces of the Château de Bouthéon, in the Loire, go back to the 13th century, when it was probably just a simple keep. Between the 13th and 15th centuries, its owners enlarged the keep into a building that is now the south wing, which houses the reception and the Forez Interpretation Centre.

The grounds include French formal gardens, a kitchen garden, a rose garden, aromatic and medicinal plants, an arboretum, ponds and a Forez farm, making it one of the finest botanical gardens in the Loire.
