The donjon de la Salle, a defensive master tower<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With its imposing appearance<\/strong> and 2 storeys served by a spiral staircase <\/strong>in an adjoining turret <\/strong>, the square tower<\/strong> is a veritable fortified keep <\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dating from the 12th<\/sup><\/strong> century, its impressive machicolations <\/strong>(accessible) lead to a covered walkway<\/strong>, topped by a 4-sided lauze roof<\/strong>. It’s the framework <\/strong>that will amaze you with its quality and technicality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
