The château is an ancient medieval fortress that belonged to the Villebois family until the end of the century.

The Château de Villebois-Lavalette, an ancient medieval fortress, stands out with its blond stone walls on a rocky outcrop. The castle, built on a hill near the ancient Roman road, dominates a vast, undulating plain. The ramparts date back to 1180, with flanking towers added 20 years later, and an immense 35-meter-long aulic keep, one of the longest known in the West. Until the end of the 12th century, the site belonged to the Villebois family. Guided tours and escape games provide easy access.

Une belle histoire
La guide était captivante, nous avons appris les vicissitudes de ce château. Depuis 40 ans les bénévoles participent à sa remise en état. Bravo à eux et au propriétaire pour sauver ces magnifiques constructions.
Les enfants ont bien aimé le jeu d'enquête proposé ce jour là.
