AVRILLY DUNGEON

Castles to visit

The ruins, recently open to the public, of a beautiful medieval fortress, reminiscent of Rhone's dungeons, and Harcourt castle (family to which the fief of Avrilly belonged in the th century). During your visit you will discover the motte, the remains of the stone dungeon, the lower courtyard, two towers, the fortified entrance and deep ditches of 12 metres.
