This spectacular private castle is built high on limestone rock and surrounded by a moat. A single room with a magnificent boat hull frame and located on the left when entering can be visited, free of charge. Access also allows you to see the facade of the castle overlooking the interior courtyard. To finish, you absolutely must walk around the moat and admire everything. So don't hesitate to take a quick detour to the village of Paulmy to come and see it because it's really worth the detour!

One evening we passed in front of this incredible fortified complex from the 12th and 13th centuries. It sits on a rocky promontory surrounded by a water moat. Former Protestant shelter, now private property which can be visited with free access and is the site of shows and events. Impressive in its configuration and the dynamism of its management, it is definitely worth the detour!

Magnificent castle surrounded by a moat, with an old tower and an extremely well restored inhabited part.

A surprising discovery with free and open access all year round, thanks to the owners. It was a stronghold located on the border of English Aquitaine and the Kingdom of France. Placed on a colossal rock, its discovery at the exit of a bend is impressive. Built with stones extracted by digging moats, the remains of the 12th century keep and the buildings added in the 13th, 15th, 16th and 17th are remarkable. The house, inhabited today, cannot be visited but access to the site is free all year round. The Protestant barn can be visited, this building hosts cultural events. The association “Les Amis du Châtelier” organizes concerts in the barn, the acoustics of which are said to be excellent. Its frame is superb, it ignores spiders due to being made of chestnut. In this region of South Loire, far from the Loire castles, the built heritage is remarkable. This Château du Châtelier is a surprising discovery, with free and open access all year round, thanks to the owners.

Not open to the public. But you can visit the courtyard and see the partially collapsed tower. A nice drawbridge at the back of the castle
