Discovering the Enlightenment
Château de Prangins, Prangins
Accessible free of charge and at all times, this cultural walk around the site locates the château in the context of the estate, telling its story in the places where it happened.
Accessible free of charge and at all times*, this cultural walk around the site locates the château in the context of the estate, telling its story in the places where it happened. Some twenty silhouettes representing individuals linked to the Château de Prangins – from Voltaire, Madame de Staël and Joseph Bonaparte to an anonymous servant fetching water from the fountain – act as waypoints for a charming stroll through the grounds. In addition to the lives of the château’s inhabitants, the walk also sheds light on the historical development, architecture and plant life of the site from its creation to the Age of Enlightenment. The walk is the perfect introduction to the site’s cultural and natural heritage.
*2/3 of the route is accessible even when the museum is closed
