Read moreUnderstanding the château of Bussy-Rabutin
• A colourful character. Count Roger de Bussy-Rabutin (1618-1693), the cousin of Madame de Sévigné, was a soldier, courtier and famous writer. He was chased from court for having exposed the love affairs of his famous contemporaries in his Histoire amoureuse des Gaules.
• Successfully rescued. The Count de Sarcus started restoration works in the 19th century and managed to get the château listed as a historic monument in 1862, the first instance of State protection for private properties. It was bought by the State in 1929 and extensive restoration work has been carried out since the 1970s.

What people think about it
What net surfers think about this
What people think about it J'ai visité le chateau il y a quelques jours et j'ai vraiment été séduite par le cadre, la présentation du château, et aussi les commentaires de notre guide, qui a su capter l'intérêt des visiteurs par ses explications claires et précises, parfois teintées d'humour concernant les moeurs de l'époque de Louis XIV où les intrigues à la cour étaient nombreuses ! J'ai passé un agréable moment dans un cadre magnifique, et je suis ensuite passée par la boutique où j'ai pu acheter quelques cartes et ouvrages pour me rappeler cette agréable étape de mon séjour en Bourgogne ....
Malgré plusieurs visites je ne me lasse pas de cet endroit . Beau par le lieu et l'architecture et tellement vivant et divertissant par l'ex maitre des lieux !! A visiter absolument si vous passer par là ! Et pour info nous sommes dans l'Auxois , pas dans le Morvan.
