Three monuments, three projects led by the Centre des Monuments Nationaux, and one question: what does a stone building reveal once the asphalt, the roof covering or the scaffolding is removed? In Angers, the tallest tower of the curtain wall has been open to visitors since the end of September 2026. In Oiron, the Tour de l'Épée was due to reopen this summer after a €1.4 million restoration campaign. In Pierrefonds, the Salle des Preuses is entering a new phase: that of the fireplaces, sculptures and furnishings. Here is an update, based on the CMN press kit of January 2026 and on what could be verified since.
