    A fascinating and romantic ruin.

    Whilst renting the little chateau just below the fortress, we were fortunate enough to take a tour of this beautiful, slightly wild fortress. This was a private tour for my family (5 of us, youngest 8), given in excellent English by a thoroughly charming and...More

    We take the time to visit this castle and explain the evolution of the site for 9 centuries. There are many things to discover, with imagination of course, because it is a ruin of the 12th century. Everyone is involved in the restoration: volunteer, when...More

    Interesting find

    With the help of a well informed guide who spoke excellent English, this ruin from the eleventh century is beginning to offer up its secrets. Well worth a visit, and a worthy cause to support the volunteers who work hard on its archaeology. Beware the...More

    Archeological

    Very good guided tour. With a great archeological viewpoint. You can see the development in the dig sites. The whole thing has an "unfinished" feeling, which contributes, for me, to make it more interesting.

    Bonjour, Il y a 200m à faire sur un terrain qui descend un peu. Ensuite nous pouvons adapter la visite pour quelle soit plus facile. Il y a néanmoins des escaliers durant la visite. Peut-être à bientôt
