View of the Parthenay citadel

Highlight • Viewpoint

If you feel safe inside the citadel, you will be equally impressed by the view from the outside. It looks impregnable and probably was hundreds of years ago.

This 11th century chateau and its parterre gardens can be hired for weddings and events. Its impressive moat and drawbridge give you an idea of its important defensive position.
