CASTLE-MUSEUM CHARLES VII
Go there and contact
From the fabulous castle built by Jean de Berry in the fifteenth century on the infrastructure of a powerful castle, there are only very few things left except two round towers. Jean de Berry bequeathed Mehun to his nephew Charles VII, who hosted here Jeanne d 'Arc (1429-1430), after she had led him to Reims to be crowned. Burned several times, the castle had become a superb ruin with impressive looks. Sold as a national asset to the Revolution, he served as a stone quarry. Some houses of the city were built with its materials, but its demolition, although partial, essentially helped to fill the streets and squares of the Yèvre… Only the master tower, which was restored, visited and houses a museum with medieval vocation. This visit will immerse you in a few hours in the middle of the Middle Ages. Before leaving the site, don't forget to climb up the dungeon. From the top of its 40 m, you will enjoy a breathtaking view over 20 km to the round. The forest of Haute-Brune, Bourges Cathedral, the Cher Valley, the Sologne will come before you.
