Once a mighty fortress, now remains perched on a rocky ridge, with a round keep as a silent witness. In 1369, Brosse was set on fire, but generations returned to save the stones and preserve the ruins.

Located on a small height which offers a very extensive view of the valley, the castle is made up of two buildings at right angles with several turrets. With the exception of a few buttresses, the traces of fortifications still visible at the beginning of the 17th century have now disappeared.

A very interesting castle. It is privately owned but can be rented for events. It was the setting for the Channel 4 show Escape the Castle. Legend has it that the last wolf in the area was shot from a window of the castle. For more information on the château check: https://thechateau.tv/

This impressive castle was built in the 11th century and was occupied by Guillaume X, father of Aliénor d'Acquitane. The queen of France from 1137 to 1152 was born in this castle. The castle was dismantled by Richelieu but was renovated in the 19th century.

When you walk through one of the most picturesque villages in France, remember that it is just as beautiful from the outside. Don't forget to run on the outskirts of the village, passing by this viewpoint. You will not regret it !
