    • For a more complete immersion in the medieval era, the castle offers activities for children starting with the Easter Egg Hunt on 20 & 21 April !

      During the spring holidays, you will have the opportunity to try out a treasure hunt, take part in tours , activities and watch free-flight demonstrations of birds of prey!

      You will also find new activities for children during the Medieval Festival on Pentecost Sunday and during the European Archaeology Days on June 14 & 15.

      In the summer, guided tours will immerse you in the past ! Four shows of chivalry and falconry are staged every day! You will even have the opportunity to discover a mini-farm from the Middle Ages , dress up as you did in period costumes, shoot a crossbow and even try your hand at the art of writing : there is something for all tastes and all ages!

      Finally, in the fall, come and enjoy the activities offered during the European Heritage Days on September 20 & 21 and the Murder Party (from October 18 to November 2) to become skilled investigators and find the murderer of the castle!

    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.
