They reached it by passing(spending,crossing) to the ground floor of one tour(ballot)-hall which still rises on about 10 m of top. Unique(Only) copy of this architecture still kept(preserved) in France, this tour(ballot)-hall finds several parallels in Great Britain and testifies the cultural community which connected(bound) both banks of the sleeve(round) following the conquest of England by Normans of Guillaume. The main poultry-yard still contains the rests of the domestic buildings(ships) and of a chapel of which ruins were recently brought out(loosened) on the occasion of archaeological excavations(searches).
