JEP 2026 : Château de Graves

Saturday, September 19 at 14 a.m.

Château de Graves 37 côte de Graves 12200 Villefranche-de-Rouergue

Come and discover this castle built in the middle of the 16th century for Jean Imbert Dardenne, copper merchant, trader and consul of the city.

The building, which is organized around a square courtyard of great purity and which is distributed by a grand staircase, preserves an exceptional Mannerist fireplace. Constituting an astonishing form of architectural transition between the medieval castle and the pleasure castle, this residence offers a very fine example of what is commonly called the second French Renaissance.
