15th century castle overlooking the Rhône, with a massive silhouette and crenellated towers, with military and even police origins
It is one of the most beautiful fortresses in France, and also one of the most impressive. From the top of its crenellated towers, the castle of King René, built in the first half of the 15th century, dominates the Rhône. With its massive, almost crushing silhouette, the building does not deny its military and even police origins, since it was, from the outset, a place of detention for civil and military prisoners, then a house of arrest and correction. During the Revolution, Robespierre's supporters were executed here.

Un lieu frais et paisible en plein été.
Explications très intéressantes.
20mn avant l'heure de fermeture du site, le personnel passait dernière nous et éteignait les lumières de manière à précipiter notre départ, sans voir les dernières pièces et sans le moindre échange agréable. Il me semble que l'heure de fermeture correspond à son heure de départ, pas l'heure à laquelle on se met dans sa voiture...
Ce fut donc une expérience gâchée en dépit d'un site sympathique et véritablement intéressant.
