Château de la Sône, Medieval castle in La Sône, France.
The stone castle stands on a rocky outcrop overlooking the Isère River, featuring a tower with machicolations and 17th-century chapel decorations.
Built in the 14th century, the castle received Louis XI during his hunting expedition in 1448 and underwent restoration works under Félicien de Boffin in 1603.
The chapel contains wall paintings from the 17th century, representing a notable example of religious art from that period in the Isère region.
The castle and its 4-hectare park received protection status through official registration, with the facades registered in 1968 and the park in 1995.
Between 1952 and 1975, the castle became a meeting point for cultural figures, including writer Françoise Sagan who frequented its gardens.
