These ruins, classified as a historic monument, offer a panoramic view during the famous fireworks display on 14th July.

Built between 1038 and 1043, this castle on a rocky promontory is an exemplary example of medieval military architecture. In 1053, it was attacked by William the Bastard. Henri I Beauclerc, his descendant, rebuilt it in 1123, replacing the wooden defences with a solid, square stone keep some twenty metres high. Today, these ruins, listed as a Monument Historique, offer a panoramic view during the famous fireworks display on 14th July!

A voir absolument !
Les ruines du château sont somptueuses. Il y a des travaux de renforcement du mur nord, le château n'est pas accessible tout le temps, mais on peut en faire le tour gratuitement depuis le sommet du fossé. Mieux, avec un drone, on peut voir au-delà des remparts, et apprécier ainsi l'aménagement à l'intérieur des murs. Vaut le détour !
