Talmont Castle is an old 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 conservation, 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 imbued with essential personalities in the history of France.
Classified as a Historic Monument since 2009, Talmont Castle is an unmissable cultural site in Vendée. A rich program of shows (chivalry, falconry, nocturnal events), entertainment, visits and events (Egg Hunt, Medieval Festival, Murder Party) contribute to the promotion and transmission of the place.
