Well done ! for this renovation to Jean Pineau with his wife Marie-Françoise, owner of the Château de Mélac since 1985 which was falling into ruin... Received ideas. "We talk about a castle, but in reality it is not one. It is a "den"... A den is a house of nobles, which explains why there is not a developed system of defenses." He continues his explanations. "They were protected on one side by the ravine of the Lessude stream and the other a ditch had been dug "

Only open weekends July & August, afternoons only. Maybe worth phoning beforehand. An interesting Chateau in private hands, that is also the owner's residence. Has been partially restored after being knocked about for the last 300 years. Not one of the greats, but certainly worth visiting if you're in the area. A pleasant owner. Note that there are private areas in the chateau that members of the public are not allowed to view.

Disappointed to find the door closed in April. Please note: visits only in summer. Nothing around to visit. No small village around.

Very nice discovery. The owner is very pleasant, and not stingy with explanations. We learned a lot during this visit. The difference between lair, castle etc... The interior courtyard is magnificent.
