Preserved intact since the 18th century, the Canon estate was created by Jean-Baptiste Elie de Beaumont, a famous lawyer of the Enlightenment who left his mark on the architectural and landscape ensemble of Canon with his spirit and personality.

Guided tours of the castle every day at 15:00 p.m. and 16:45 p.m. in July and August. (duration of visit: 1 hour)
Storytelling tours every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday in July and August. (45mins)

This estate is listed as a Historic Monument and has been awarded the Remarkable Garden label, due to the exceptional ensemble of its regular flowerbeds, wild groves, and period features (Chinese kiosks, Greco-Roman temple). Called a transitional garden, it is designed in both French and English styles, and teems with a multitude of waterways, waterfalls, and canals, which accompany the walker. The visit ends in the Chartreuses, a dazzling ensemble of thirteen walled gardens in a row, entirely planted with perennials. A veritable open-air greenhouse, unique in France.

Also on site: shop, tea room, retro games, playground, treasure hunt for children...
