This is the great novelty of the 2022 season at the Chateau de Miolans, the famous listed historic monument of Saint-Pierre-d’Albigny – one of the most important monuments of Savoyard heritage – which overlooks the Combe de Savoie.
The public is welcome to visit the 15th-century part. It was renovated in the 19th Century. It includes the park, its gardens, the chapel and the Albertville tower, through which the Marquis de Sade was able to escape, and was held for several months in Miolans by Madame de Montreuil who reproached him for the scandalous conduct. The castle in its 19th century form and the safety tower, which was inspired by Eugene Viollet–le-Duc’s Pierrefonds castle.
The owner will lead you on a guided tour at 10 a.m. 11 a.m. and 12 p.m. (duration one hour). Only 15 people can take the tour, and reservations are required. The Chateau des Miolans is available every day except weekends, between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. in July or August.
