The only opportunity, outside of European Heritage Days, to access this private castle. The guides from the tourist office will take you up the 150 steps of the dungeon of the Chazey-sur-Ain castle.

Each floor has its surprise in this castle with multiple styles, the fruit of the imagination of a single man in the 19th century. A residence bathed in an astonishing atmosphere, as it is, after more than half a century without a resident.

A visit in small groups (18 people max per group), due to the architecture of the place, which will delight the lucky ones who have managed to get their hands on an entry (reservation required). We rush to book, there won't be enough for everyone!

The ticket office closes 1 hour before the visit.
