The balustraded terraces of Poudenas
Above the Gélise valley and its old bridge, the château of Poudenas, cited in 1259 and largely rebuilt in the seventeenth century, presents Louis XIV balustraded terraces to the village and a seventeenth-century porch with flame-topped pillars in the park.

Redaktionelle Einordnung
The record describes an assemblage of buildings, most of them seventeenth-century, on very old foundations within a former double enceinte: a fifteenth-century square tower and a sixteenth-century block with mullioned windows to the north, a fine seventeenth-century range on the inner court with its terrace and period balusters, and towards the village terraces with Louis XIV balusters partly redone in the nineteenth century. In the park stands a seventeenth-century entrance porch whose pillars carry eighteenth-century flames. The 1984 classification names the south façade with its gallery and terraces, the terrace before the château’s façade and the enclosure wall.
Empfehlung
The heritage record documents terraces with Louis XIV balusters, some remade in the nineteenth century. Confirm access arrangements with the operator before travelling; the documented terraces do not establish unrestricted public admission.
