Castle Germolles:
In 1380 the Duke of Burgundy, Philip the Bold, acquired for his wife, Margaret of Flanders, the fortified house of Germolles. The Duchess transforms into a luxurious residence that work the best artists of the Burgundian school (Claus Sluter John Beaumetz).
The visit to discover the cellar, the lower chapel and the entrance towers (remnants of the primitive fortress), the main hall, chapel and the Ducal apartments, as well as those of the court. Painted or carved decorations and floor tiles reflect the quality of the place.
The hamlet above the castle and an English-style park designed in the 19th century, complete the site.
