Château de Bouthéon, musée et parc animalier

Enter the secret world of Pays du Forez.
Before climbing the 17 metres to admire the 360° view of Forez, listen to an account of the history of the changes made to the Castle over the centuries by… the differents owners ! A lively and entertaining journey of discovery into the heart of a Castle restored with great care. The Castle also offers activities on the Jacquard weaving loom and guided tours (according to the programme or by appointment), and, soon, an Interpretation Centre about the River Loire. Dive into a discovery of the Loire and retrace its incredible course from Mont Gerbier de Jonc to the estuary of Saint-Nazaire ! An adventure full of surprises including the fish inhabiting the last wild river of Europe.
