A family outing with the peddlers

Organised by "La Colporteuse"

from age 7

Welcome to Château de Sanzay

Come and take part in the maintenance and renovation of Château de Sanzay (13th and 14th centuries), listed as a Monument Historique since 1930. The fortified enclosure, surrounded by a moat, appears to have been built in the 13th century. In the 15th century, the dwelling and entrance châtelet were added, along with a drawbridge with arrows. Finally, farm buildings were added in the 16th century. But its history doesn't end there...

Come and follow in the footsteps of Seigneur Radulphe de Sanzay, who was bored to death until peddlers from all over the world came to bring the castle back to life with their boredom traps.

La Colporteuse is a non-profit organization under the French law of 1901, founded in May 2007 by three young people strongly motivated by a desire to revitalize the local area. The main idea was to offer socio-cultural activities and create a place where people could meet, exchange ideas, discover new things, take initiatives and create new things.

Not only will you be able to take part in several workcamps to develop and embellish the castle, but you'll also be able to live to the rhythm of the association and become a traveler, passing through the castle gates to get a taste of the boredom traps in full swing.

For the general organization, family workcamps will take place in the mornings and cultural activities in the afternoons. The program and details of the stay are currently being drawn up, and the publication will be updated shortly.
