This 15th century castle has a small park with century-old lime trees and has restored its medieval garden. It is now possible to stay there because it has been transformed into a bed and breakfast.

Impressive 15th century fortified castle. The castle is private and cannot be visited, but it is possible to spend the night there in a bed and breakfast. www.bienvenueauchateau.com/chateaux/chateau-de-la-motte/

Small lake superbly well laid out with a cycle path, hiking trails, shaded picnic tables, self-service barbecues and a small, not too expensive guinguette.
