Museum of the horse toy
Saint-Gervazy
9 km from the A75 motorway, the 13th-century château is at the heart of the village. The permanent horse toy museum is located on the 2nd floor of the château’s east wing, and features Suzy Zanatta’s rich private collection of around 1,000 pieces from all over the world.
What’s more, if the château is not rented out, we can show it to visitors. Visits to the château can last from 1h30 to 2h. For groups, we can organize a full-day tour of the commune (dolmen, church, museum and château). New since 2020, a torture chamber has been created in the château.
