Château de Drée, 17th century castle in Curbigny, France.
The Château de Drée features ornate interior decorations, multiple reception rooms, master bedrooms, and a royal chamber spread across its stone structure.
François de Bonne de Créquy, Governor of Dauphiné, initiated the construction of Château de Drée in 1650, replacing the former fortress of La Bazolle.
The castle interior displays furnishings and decorations that reflect the French nobility lifestyle during the Age of Enlightenment in the 18th century.
Visitors can join guided tours from April through October, with different schedules in summer versus spring and fall, accessing both the castle and gardens.
The castle grounds include specific architectural elements such as a dovecote, an ice house, and formal French gardens designed by landscape architect Moncorgé.

Saône-et-Loire reveals a heritage that is not just scenery. The heights of Morvan still bear the traces of Bibracte, an ancient oppidum where Gallic history was written. Autun recalls Roman power with one of the country's largest ancient theaters. Further south, fortified villages, Romanesque abbeys, and castles add a medieval and Renaissance layer to this mosaic. Le Creusot tells of the entry into the industrial age. Between ancient stones, wooded landscapes, and religious sites, the region gathers locations that highlight the depth of its history.
