Description

The Château de Cormatin is located in the commune of Cormatin in Saône-et-Loire, on an island in the river Grosne. Built at the beginning of the 17th century, it preserves rare original details, in particular its "vide à la moderne" staircase and the decoration of certain rooms.

It is one of the fourteen exceptional places open to the public that have been brought together for some twenty years within "La Route des châteaux en Bourgogne du Sud".
