En un regard
Le château en bref
Built in the middle of the 13th century, probably by Roger I d'Armagnac-Termes, this imposing Gascon tower has four levels of 250 m² each and is flanked by a square keep 36 metres high. It was once protected by a triple system of moats. It was the childhood home of Thibaud de Termes (born 1405), a comrade-in-arms of Joan of Arc during the Hundred Years' War, who later became grand bailiff of Chartres in the service of Charles VII. Sold as national property during the Revolution, it was bought back and restored by the municipality from 1960 onwards. It now operates as a tourist site with events, school visits and an annual medieval festival.
