Busset: Holiday apartments and holiday homes

In Busset, the Château de Busset combines medieval and Renaissance periods. The Château de Busset is apparently considered a regionally unique type of building known as a “maison à chemises”. The Château de Busset is partially protected as a historic monument. This includes, among other things, the entrance gatehouse with its moats and drawbridge, the 18th-century east wing, the chapel, and the French and Italian gardens; parts of the building were classified on 25 November 1981, and further areas were listed on 11 June 1990.

During the 2026 season, tours of the Château de Busset and its gardens will be offered on Saturday and Sunday afternoons from April to the end of October, occasionally by reservation and for groups of five or more people.
