___2 FOR THE PRICE OF 1
In Beaufort, you'll discover not 1, but 2 magnificent castles. Right in the middle of the forest 🌳, you can explore the ruins of the medieval castle and discover its impressive Gothic architecture. As for the Renaissance château, dating from the 17ᵉ century, it's still perfectly preserved. Rooms, gardens, distillery... Nothing has changed since the departure of its last owner, who still lived in the building.
You can even buy the liqueur that is still distilled today at the end of your visit. A word of advice: bring a picnic lunch by the pond, it's so majestic 🤩
