Ollans Castle was built in the 18th century. It is surrounded by a vast garden bordered by the river, and decorated with two statues from the 1740s representing Diana and Apollo. It belonged to Charles Derosne, a beekeeping enthusiast and friend of Sully Prudhomme. It is also in this castle that the writer composed his first collection of poetry, Le Bonheur. The castle cannot be visited these days, but it is a great place to take a photo.
