One of the best preserved castles of Chauvigny, with a rectangular enclosure, high curtains, and turrets

Château d'Harcourt first belonged to the Lusignan family and then, in the 13th century, passed through marriage to the Harcourt family, before being ceded in 1447 to the bishops of Poitiers, barons of Chauvigny. Rebuilt in the 13th century, it is the best-preserved of the Chauvinois castles. Its almost rectangular enclosure features high curtain walls flanked by solid cylindrical turrets. Two adjoining buildings make up the whole, but only the southern one remains well preserved. A Micro-Folie allows visitors to discover cultural works digitally.

Cité médiévale 86300 Chauvigny
Chauvigny est une très jolie ville, dont la partie haute est la cité médiévale. Plusieurs Châteaux, le donjon de Gouzon qui abrite l'Espace d'Archéologie industrielle et le musée « des Traditions populaires et d'Archéologie » , tous beaux extérieurement, seront à visiter lorsque la situation sanitaire le permettra à nouveau. En attendant, la visite de la splendide Collégiale et la promenade dans les rues suffisent à transporter à une autre époque. C'est une « Ville d'Art et d'Histoire » que j'ai beaucoup appréciée. J'y retournerai avec plaisir lorsque tout sera rouvert pour compléter mes visites.

Très belle ville médiévale où il fait bon flanner.
Un musée sur la vie de l'époque avec des costumes et des objets de la région vaut le détour (petit et se fait rapidement). On y retrouve beaucoup d'objets de nos grands-parents (et on comprend à quoi ils servaient)

Chauvigny really deserves a visit. The tour of the small town is quite quickly, but it is pleasant to wander castle in castle…
