2025: A better welcome

A new chapter in the history of the château is being written at Grignan.
The work begun at the end of 2023 to make the site accessible and repair the roof is continuing with the creation of a new visitor trail.
This stage is part of the overall project to redevelop the château, which will eventually offer new spaces.
This is a major project, which will require the tour route to be adjusted over the coming months. During the works, the first floor will be open to visitors (guided tour), as will the exterior and the vast terrace overlooking the countryside.

A complete restoration of the ramparts is also underway.
