The Apprentice Knights
Before becoming a knight, one must learn to master one’s weapon… and above all, master one’s movements. Under the guidance of a master-at-arms, visitors are invited to step into the lists and discover the basics of medieval combat. After a few explanations on technique and the rules of honour, each participant can cross swords in a short bout with a real combatant. A hands-on experience that lets you hold an authentic sword and step, just for a moment, into the shoes of an apprentice knight.

Historical Presentations
The historical presentations trace the château’s history from the year 1000 to the 19th century. Guides introduce visitors to the architecture of the keep and of Louis XI’s château, then bring to life, in the banquet hall, the daily life of a great lord at the end of the Middle Ages. This introduction, rich in anecdotes, provides the key information needed to make the most of a self-guided tour of the site.
