About Château de Bussy-Rabutin
The Château de Bussy-Rabutin is a 17th-century castle located in the Côte-d'Or department in the Burgundy region of France. It was built between 1640 and 1678 by Roger de Bussy-Rabutin, a French military officer, and writer, who was banished from the court of Louis XIV for writing scandalous poems. The castle is known for its well-preserved interior decoration, including a series of painted portraits of the king's mistresses that landed the owner in trouble with the royal court. The castle also features a beautiful French garden and an English-style park. Today, the Château de Bussy-Rabutin is open to the public as a museum, showcasing the life and works of Roger de Bussy-Rabutin, as well as the castle's art and furnishings. Visitors can explore the castle's grand apartments, see the famous portraits, and enjoy the picturesque gardens. The castle also hosts temporary art exhibitions and cultural events throughout the year.
