Chimay - Château 
A few yards to the west of the Grand-Place is Chimay Château, built on a rocky promontory over the Eau Blanche River by the Croy family in the 16th C. Madame Tallien commissioned the construction of a theater in the courtyard but it was partly burnt down in 1935 together with the château.
The tour leads through rooms furnished in contemporary style to the Grand Hall with an interesting 14th C. fireplace and into various drawing rooms where keepsakes of Madame Tallien and her visitors can be seen, including a portrait of Princess Gérard; in the Napoleon Room the christening dress of Eugène, son of Napoleon III is displayed.
