In the former stables, the construction and history of the castle are presented around a model. The guided walk starts outside, on the edge of the ditch to understand the military aspect of the site. We then enter the imposing dovecote “on foot”, newly refurbished. Back in the enclosure, after some comments on the important role of the lower court, we enter the high court still totally closed by its original courtines. We can observe the organization of the various constructions and the towers, inaccessible, are described from this courtyard. Around the well and its “up and down” system, we understand the essential role of water in such a place. In the same way, the vaulted rooms of the ground floor testify to the usefulness of the important power storage for survival in these walls. The 'grand cuisine' and the 'Logis Rolin' reveal to us the essential transformations of the fifteenth century in these fortified castles weakened by the arrival of fire hydrants. Then the walk takes us to the latrines, to the seigneurial oven and ends with a presentation of the chapel. Through the exceptional conservation of this castle, you will understand the importance of such a construction in the life of the inhabitants of the fief in the Middle Ages.
