Step into a Renaissance château perched beside a tranquil 7-hectare pond in the heart of the Loiret countryside. The Château de la Bussière, known as the Castle of the Fishermen, houses an International Freshwater Fishing Museum with curiosities like a preserved coelacanth, alongside 15 furnished rooms filled with period art and Bernard Palissy ceramics. Outside, the 60-hectare walled park features a Jardin Remarquable kitchen garden with over 100 rose varieties and heritage fruit trees. The castle is open from April through October and closed on Tuesdays outside of July and August; a midday break runs from 12:00 to 14:00.
