Château

Castles / Palaces, Tournon


Fodor's Review:

Its hefty Château, dating from the 15th and 16th centuries, is the chief attraction. The castle's twin terraces have wonderful views of the Vieille Ville, the river, and -- towering above Tain-l'Hermitage across the Rhône -- the steep vineyards that produce Hermitage wine, one of the region's most refined -- and costly -- reds. In the château is a museum of local history, the Musée Rhodanien (or du Rhône).
