Tips from the Community
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.

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 !

All that remains of the medieval fortress today is the circular keep and its curtain wall from the 13th century and the towers either side.

Very beautiful ruins of the old Brush castle. The site is private but almost all of the ruins are visible from the outside. The site has been listed since 2003 for their architectural and landscape qualities.

Pond in the countryside, with a small restaurant and toilets nearby. Great stopover for a cool picnic, but swimming is unfortunately prohibited.
