Château Licot
Highlight • Castle
For many years this region had a high economic development thanks to the mining of iron ore. Together with the iron ore exploitation, an iron and steel industry developed in Nismes. Between 1864 and 1890, the farm was transformed into the castle we know today, with August Licot, co-founder of the factories “La Providence”, as client, after the closure of the blast furnace. Later, a park and pond were laid out. This successful entrepreneurial family, Licot, was the textbook example of the wealth that the iron industry brought to Nismes in the nineteenth century.

Treignes is also called the 'museum village' because it has no less than five museums and several other tourist attractions. The cobbled streets, the fountain and the tranquility make the village worth a visit.

Washhouse at Vierves-sur-Viroin Castle
Highlight • Castle
Based on a fortress and a farm of medieval origin, the emblematic building spreads its slender silhouette over the landscape of Vierves-sur-Viroin - private property.
The 'Comtes de Hamal', who owned the estate between 1567 and 1852, extensively renovated the old medieval fortress and farm and reduced the defensive functions of the building to a base.
The facade of the house, in classical style, is pierced with large windows. This “modern” home is flanked by the so-called Attila Tower, whose spherical roof pushes the castle into the landscape, while its large windows provide new vantage points.
In the second half of the 19th century, works related to the pleasure continued: the two courtyards were joined to form a large terrace opening onto the valley.
The garden is below, the tree-lined ring that splits the ramparts...
