MEDIEVAL CASTLE OF OUDON
19th century castle on a rocky spur overlooking the Loire, used to control river traffic, the keep was a residence
An unmissable site on a rocky spur overlooking the Loire, the castle of Oudon (19th century) was an important defensive piece on the chessboard of the Marches de Bretagne in the Middle Ages. Sentinel of stone, it was used to control the river traffic and the enemy belonging to the crown of France: Châteauceaux (south bank), and, with the castle of Ancenis, locked the passage to Nantes, capital of the duchy of Brittany. The keep, rebuilt in 1392, was used as a residence, as evidenced by the architecture (fireplaces, latrines, cushions, mullioned windows ...).

Le centre ville préservé par endroits et "la tour d'Oudon" (du château médiéval), sont à découvrir à pieds.
Agréable pour une petite ballade, ou un verre en terrasse.

Je n'ai pas trouvé très ludique, beaucoup trop d'explications.
On avait acheté des billets combinés croisière / château, mais au moment de réserver la croisière on s'est aperçus qu'ils n'étaient pas là ce week-end là, le personnel nous a renvoyé des billets pour l'année suivante, très professionnel.
