With stunningly beautiful floor tiles, constructed in colorful patterns. Large windows that oversee the valley and shutters invitingly open to receive the light and warmth of the sun. It's clear not everyone actually lived in the dark middle ages.

 

It's one of the many castle rooms. After a full renovation, and with respect to it'history, a perfect room to be used for expositions and other purposes. Imagine, this is just one of the many rooms for the castle owner to use.

Chateau de Biron - Dominating the surrounding landscape, seen from many directions Château de Biron still is the ruling castle. A medieval 12th century monument historique. The present château bears additions over the centuries that make a picturesque ensemble. The Château de Biron boasts a wealth of spectacular architectural features like a twelfth-century keep, a chapel, sixteenth-century living quarters and majestic rooms, vaulted kitchens and an excellent panorama of the surrounding valley.
