Château de Machecoul

Highlight • Castle

Built from the 13th century by the lords of Retz, the castle of Machecoul was one of the main fortresses of the Marches de Bretagne, a region which went from Pornic to Clisson and Tiffauges via the Breton marshes. These strongholds were notably held by the famous Gilles de Rais, companion of Joan of Arc who inspired the myth of Bluebeard. The building is now very much in ruins: only the exterior walls of the keep and a section of interior wall remain, visible from the road, because it is located in the heart of a private domain and only accessible via a guided tour.
