Accueil > AccueilLe Château de Prye
The town of Nevers,
centuries of history and know-how
At the beginning of the 6th century, Nevers had its first houses built on the "Butte", small hill naturally protected by the river Loire on one side, and the marshes on the other.
One can still admire today the imposing silhouettes of the most remarkable monuments of the town, erected during the Middle Ages or the Renaissance.
Picturesque streets go up and down the area of the earthenware manufacturers, who made the pride and fame of the city throughout the kingdom of France, during the 17th century.
As for the walk along the ramparts, it will take you down to the banks of the river Loire, favourite meeting and working place of the bargemen until the 19th century.
Château of the month
Le château de Guilguiffin
At the end of Brittany, a few miles away from Quimper, on the site of Guilguiffin, a fortress had been erected during the 11th century. A few centuries later, with the agreement of king Louis XV, the landlord had it erased. After having the stones cut, he had them used to build up a new mansion, dedicated to hunting.
The present castle of Guilguiffin thus dates back to the 18th. At the entrance of this imposing estate, the drawing and setting of the stone pillars reflect the architect's oriental inspiration.
The castle and its 75 hectares park are listed and today completely restored. You will appreciate strolling along the alleys, lined with rhododendrons, daffodils and precious tree species.
A beautiful architecture, a haven of peace and charm.
