A gem of a - much more impressive and intact than its size and age would suggest. The self guided tour takes around an hour - the information points are in both French and English and are both concise and helpful. They compliment the guide leaflet very well. The site is well looked after if a little overgrown in places - not as manicured as the UK castles tend to be but it's cared for by a local association not A national government body... A mix of narrow and steep winding staircases and slightly tricky access makes it unsuitable for wheelchair users and I'd be reluctant to take very young children round too. Great way to spend an afternoon... 11th century that takes about 90 minutes to 2 hours to explore completely. There is a direction for the visit that ensures every part of the is seen. All notable parts are labeled in French and English. There is also a guided tour in French available. The gift shop is a veritable wonderland of fun and educational souvenirs, books, and toys. You can also buy cold beverages and snack foods. There is even a microwave for some of their meals. You must be able to walk on uneven terrain to enjoy the outer parts. You must be able get up narrow stairs with steep steps that are partially rounded on the edge and also slim because they wrap around a center part of narrow towers. If you are in the general region, this is a must do field trip. Great place for a visit, not to big and not too much reading A fabulous medieval castle. Entry at 6€ is good. Starting off with a walk around the outside with views of the towers, the curtain wall and ditch. This is followed by access into the which includes some nice rooms. There are descriptions of the different areas in French and English. The staff are lovely too. We went midweek at the end of June and it was really quiet, the is north of Niort and quite isolated so maybe worth a trip if passing as there is not much else in the area. Beautiful & Peaceful Great family visit with our kids (8 and 4 year old) and our dog How have we not discovered this on our previous visits to the area? Really interesting, well restored chateau. Lots of towers and rooms to explore. Dog friendly and only €6 entry fee. Highly recommended Great visit. All adult party, so managed narrow steps etc. Not suitable for less able. Guided tour brought everything to our attention. Very knowledgeable and clearly very enthusiastic about history. Also excellent English so we got everything he was telling us. Thank you!
