Château de La Bussière, Renaissance castle in Oullins, France
The castle features a Renaissance-style western façade with architectural elements including an oriel window and ornamental friezes across multiple levels.
The initial estate, known as Grange Deï, was transformed into a fortified house in the 16th century before becoming a noble residence in the 18th century.
The ground floor rooms host municipal events while the upper floors contain residential apartments following the 2017 renovation.
The Salamander Garden, located at the foot of the castle, opens from 8 AM to 7 PM in winter and until 8:45 PM during summer.
The salamander, emblem of King Francis I, appears multiple times in the decorative elements of the castle, demonstrating the connection with the monarch.
