Chateau de Goutelas - the workshop place

Chateau The workshop will take place in the Chateau de Goutelas.
Located in Marcoux, close to Montbrison on the Plaine du Forez, the Chateau de Goutelas is known as a Mecca for the humanist movement. It was built in 1558 on the site of an old fortress of which the high walls are still visible as well as the four corner towers. This Renaissance chateau belonged to Jean Papon, known as The great judge of the Forez, who was a 16th Century humanist. He asked his architects to design his home in the form of an H, to denote humanism.
Completely in ruins at the beginning of the 1960s, it has been entirely restored by a team of volunteers who have given up 10 years of their lives to achieve the final result. It has now been turned into a meeting place.
