Talmont Castle is an ancient coastal fortress whose first masonry remains date back to 1020, making it one of the oldest stone castles in France !
The site contains a primitive enclosure of approximately two hundred and fifty linear meters as well as a main tower in an exceptional state of preservation, which has no less than five levels still in elevation.
Former property of Duchess Eleanor of Aquitaine , then of her son Richard the Lionheart, this castle is not only an exceptional architectural and heritage object, but also a historic place marked by key figures in the history of France.
Listed as a Historic Monument since 2009, Talmont Castle is a must-see cultural site in Vendée. A rich program of shows (chivalry, falconry, night shows), entertainment, visits and events (egg hunt, medieval festival, murder party) contribute to the promotion and transmission of the place.
