    An amazing experience in the area. The château is currently being worked on but you can access a vast amount of the ruin due to French “health and safety” 😂 Well worth the trip with a lot to see including the remaining vaulted grey hall, kitchen and underground tunnels along with 5-6m of tunnels to explore. Such a shame that this monument was birth down by the SS during WW2

    Stunning and fascinating experience. A heroic project to rescue and restore a 13C chateau that was deliberately destroyed during WWII.

    Louis de Funes was here. :) It would have been nice if more history of the place was available and if the writings were not in handwriting French so you could more easily use online translators. Nevertheless, the place is beautiful, and it sure must have been a rich castle before it went into ruins. The tunnel underground was a nice added value.
