Description
Les Tours de Merle: A medieval castrum situated on a rocky spur 40 m high and 200 m long!
The Towers of Merle rise in the heart of the forest, above the river, in a truly preserved nature! Built by 6 families of Lords between the 12th and 15th centuries, they are a jewel of the medieval Limousin. This natural fortress is sure to spark the imagination of young and old alike, with its impressive buildings in a steep site and a very special history...
To be discovered in a 10 hectare park: the castrum and its viewpoints, the ruins of a medieval village, the river Maronne, the shop (souvenirs, ice creams and drinks)...
