Atypical castle certainly but inaccessible to obtain the same point of view as that of the shared photos. The visit of this castle is possible but paying. 8€ which are certainly worth it. You still need to be aware, and know that your bike must remain in the parking lot during this period.

Fontevraud Abbey is a unique place of culture. The immense building, whose construction dates back to the 12th century, houses a very beautiful permanent collection. There you can find, among other things, the very moving tombstones of Richard the Lionheart and his mother Eleanor of Aquitaine. Today, the Royal Abbey of Fontevraud also hosts a modern art museum, a very beautiful hotel, two restaurants, including a gourmet one, and temporary exhibitions. While passing through, you will find a reason to stop by!

The Vaon Dolmen is an impressive 1.5m high and the chamber inside is 6m. The rock slabs are thought to come from the Butte de Saint-Drémont.
