Old fortress of the wars of religion which preserved its terrace of defense, its walls and the vestiges of its postern, the castle of Cambon was transformed into 1755 by the marquis du Cambon in a residence of pleasure. Thanks to its rows of parts of

XVIIIth century.
This residence, restored the year even of the birth of Marie-Antoinette, has a number of her portraits, engravings, works printed, documents relating to the queen and her close relations.
