Château du Touvet, Medieval castle in Le Touvet, France.
The castle complex includes five towers, a moat, a drawbridge, and seven hectares of formal gardens with water features and terraces.
Since its construction in 1300, the castle has remained in the same family lineage, initially serving as protection against threats from Savoy.
The castle maintains regular guided tours in French, with English language materials available for international visitors exploring the architecture and gardens.
Entry tickets cost 9 euros for adults and 6 euros for children between 6 and 18 years, with specific opening hours varying by season.
The gardens feature an engineering achievement from the 18th century: a hydraulic water stairway system that connects multiple garden levels.
