About the location

Palais des Comtes de Poitou - Ducs d'Aquitaine

1 place Alphonse Lepetit, 86000 Poitiers

Vienne

Nouvelle-Aquitaine

With the large hall and the Maubergeon tower, the palace of the Counts of Poitou-Dukes of Aquitaine is today one of the most remarkable medieval architectural ensembles in France.
Indeed, the name Maubergeon (which still today qualifies the medieval keep) is derived from the «mall-berg», the former Merovingian court. Shortly after the year Mil, a new palace is erected on a clod of earth, leaning against the ancient rampart and completed around 1100 with a first tower (the remains of which are visible in the square Jeanne d'Arc). The complex, surrounded by ditches, constitutes the residence of the counts of Poitou-dukes of Aquitaine.
The grand ceremonial hall was rebuilt by the Plantagenet family a little before 1200; known as the «Salle des Pas Perdus», with its vast dimensions and Angevin-style decoration (blind arcatures, capitals), it is the official hall of the Palace. Today it remains one of the most remarkable examples of medieval civil architecture in France.
