The ceremonial room of the castle is the highlight of the visit with its walls alternating with the coat of arms of France and B. de Fargues (14th century) and, a real jewel, the painted ceiling of the 15th century: 5 beams decorated with foliage on a red background, supported by brackets on which are painted the gules of Leviathan; 140 closoirs with the most varied themes: courtly love, nobles and peasants, real and fantastical animals, scenes of hunting and tournaments, religion and triviality.
