The château de Pupetières is a 19th-century castle which stands in the commune of Chabons, in the Isère department and the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, in France. The famille de Virieu has owned the estate since the 13th century, when the primitive castle, then a simple fortified house, was built. Between 1861 and 1866, Alphonse de Virieu, son of Aymon, decided to entrust the reconstruction of Pupetières to two architects: Denis Darcy, for the outbuildings, and Eugène Viollet-le-Duc, for the castle in a neo-Gothic style. The estate of Pupetières is also linked to the stay of the poet Alphonse de Lamartine, who wrote one of his most famous works of romantic inspiration entitled Le Vallon, which in turn inspired Countess Anna de Noailles. The castle and its outbuildings were classified as a historical monument by a decree of 8 November 1972. The private property, park and building are open to visitors, but the opening hours and entrance fees are set by the owner.
