Ruined and closed castle can just see the entrance
Francois P. (6 years ago)
The building comes to life for the castle nights and highlights the artistic, musical and cultural dimension in a medieval setting. A symbolic place steeped in history in the town of Nieul-lès-Saintes To see if you are passing through (or living) in the region
