Ancy-le-Franc castle

Ancy-le-Franc castle is found in the Yonne department south-east of Tonnerre, on the Canal de Bourgogne (Burgundy canal)

Along with near neighbour Tanlay Castle, the castle at Ancy-le-France is one of the highlights of a visit to the region. It was one of the first Renaissance chateaux to be constructed in France.

The unassuming but quietly elegant exterior of this 16th century castle conceals a grand Italian style courtyard and interior with several very grand and impressive rooms to visit, including some very good frescoes and wall paintings.

The architect and decoration of Ancy-le-Franc castle were under the control of some of the same individuals responsible for Fountainebleau.
