Situated between Burgundy and Franche-Comté, in Côte-d'Or, Talmay Castle is an elegant 18th-century classical structure, backing onto an ancient medieval fortress of which an imposing 13th-century keep still remains. The 54-metre-tall keep contains beautiful woodwork and antique furniture. A monumental staircase then leads to the upper floor of the main building as well as to the chapel with its stucco decorations, while in the basement you can see the kitchen where numerous copperware items are kept. Other admirable features are the guard room and walkway, which have remained unchanged since the 13th century. From there, you can enjoy superb views of the Langres plateau and the heights of Jura.
Talmay Castle is also notable for its 7-hectare park, a listed Remarkable Garden, where you can admire French formal gardens, an orchard with 400 fruit trees, and a leafy park with a magnificent group of eight plane trees planted in 1752.
