Unfortunately, the interior is not so well preserved or has been heavily used by exhibitions. It seems a bit cluttered. The exhibitions about the region are interesting, though. Two submachine guns have also been preserved, which England dropped in large numbers from the air for the benefit of the Resistance during WWII.

The castle is very impressive, with double moat, garden and great layout. Worth a detour!!

The majestic Château de Pierre-de-Bresse dates from the 17th century. It also houses the Burgundian Bresse ecomuseum. We discover the life of the territory: its natural environments, its trades and traditional activities. During school holidays, the museum offers family workshops and guided tours.
