    An absolutely extraordinary visit to Talmont Castle! This medieval gem totally transported me back in time. The majestic ramparts and preserved architecture eloquently bear witness to the fascinating history of the place. I was particularly impressed by the entertainment and historical re-enactments that bring the castle to life - the falconry shows and medieval combat demonstrations are breathtaking! The passionate and erudite staff shares their knowledge with enthusiasm and answers all questions. The surrounding gardens offer a bucolic stroll with a splendid view of the Vendée countryside. Whether you are a history buff, family or simply curious, Talmont Castle is an unforgettable immersive experience that is well worth the detour. A real journey through time that I heartily recommend!

    Great experience. Very informative guided tour. The bird show is nice with the birds flying above our heads. As for the show with the horses, it explains the life of King Richard the Lionheart well. We learn a lot from the narrator. A little introduction to the crossbow. A great afternoon.

    A very successful restoration in every way considering the fact that I knew it in 1965 when I was a kid, on vacation, in a very advanced state of ruin and disrepair. Little known site, but a must see.
