Château de Bouthéon
🇫🇷 France
The Château de Bouthéon stands in the plain of Forez, in the commune of Andrézieux-Bouthéon, in the Loire department, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. Originally a medieval stronghold, it became a Renaissance and later a bourgeois residence. Once the property of the La Fayette, Bourbon and Gadagne families, the château has belonged since 1995 to the town, which restored it and turned it into a cultural and tourist site with a museum, an aquarium, an animal and botanical park, and spaces for corporate seminars.
