After seven years of renovation, Le Château became a Centre for Contemporary Art and Heritage in 2024. This prestigious site in the south of France invites you to discover its restored spaces through exhibitions, tours, workshops and events.

Visitors can now discover this magnificently restored heritage site. This jewel of medieval architecture is in dialogue with contemporary art, offering a rich program of exhibitions, tours and events, and has become an essential cultural and tourist venue in the Ardèche. Six to seven solo and group exhibitions a year showcase the work of artists of all generations. At the same time, the Château hosts a wide range of cultural events, including residencies, conferences, concerts and performances. The Château's team, curators and invited cultural actors all contribute to offering singular points of view and new ways of reading the world. Guided tours : Discover the history of the Château and its exhibitions with guided tours led by our two mediators, at the price of admission to the Château (€9 full price, €6 reduced price, free). Tour duration: between 1h15 and 1h30 Guided tour times, reservations recommended at the château reception desk or at https://lechateauaubenas.qweekle.com/shop/lechateauaubenas/multi/visites-guidees?lang=fr
