This castle is known to have housed Gilles de Rais, Joan of Arc's companion, in the 15th century

Trace 10 centuries of French history through an illustrated lecture followed by a guided tour of the ruins of this castle, known for having housed Gilles de Rais, Joan of Arc's companion, in the 15th century. Its origins are earlier: 12th or 13th century. This ogival style construction evolved under the Chauvigny and Gondy families. A sound and light show "On the paths of Gilles de Rais" evokes the youth and the arrest of this marshal of France who was passionate about witchcraft and alchemy. Some authors see Gilles de Rais as the famous Bluebeard!

Un après-midi enchanteresse au château de Machecoul.
Une visite exceptionnelle avec les propriétaires avenants et une conférence complète, détaillée, avec un passionné d'histoire comme nous, des amoureux des pierres, de l'histoire et de la nature, à voir et à revoir, des fouilles avec des découvertes, nous étions au Paradis avec ses saints....
