CHÂTEAU
This almost impregnable fortress is perched above the Rimarde.
Its exceptional location, perched above the Rimarde, made it an almost sublime fortress. Built under the reign of Philippe-Auguste (at the turn of the th and th centuries), it was in the th century under the command of Nicolas de Giresme, a knight who helped Jeanne d'Arc to take the English out of the Loire valley. In the lower courtyard, the old chapel of the castle, dedicated to Saint Gault, became the parish church. In the village you will find another church erected at the turn of the th and th centuries in a pure Gothic style. This second church, which once was the church of the inhabitants of the village, is dedicated to Saint Lubin.

A voir et à visiter...
Il y a des toilettes gratuites dans le village, elles étaient propres.
Le seul reproche c'est le prix d'entrée de la forteresse. 5 euros pour 3 tours en ruines je trouve cela un peu cher.
Heureusement nous avions la carte ambassadeur du Loiret ( seulement pour les habitants du Loiret mais gratuite) qui permet de ne payer qu'une place sur 2.
