The right-hand tower dates from the seventeenth century. From the upper platform there is a splendid view of the town and the surrounding forests. Another more ancient tower exists, the base of which is the remains of the primitive Roman church. The spire (the top of which is seen in the opposite photograph) was added in the fifteenth century.
The Castle
(historical monument)
The castle belongs to the Count Turquet de La Boisserie, who allows it to be visited. Apply to the concierge.
ENTRANCE TO THE CASTLE AND THE HÔTEL DES TROIS-POTS
The entrance shown in the above view is in the Rue du Châtel, quite close to the square of Parvis-Notre-Dame. On the left side stands the old Hôtel des Trois-Pots, so called from the signboard which hangs from the first floor, and formed of three pots which are being filled by a thin stream of water.
This old dwelling recalls all the history of France from the Gallo-Roman conquest to the reign of Henri IV.
