Visitors have access to an exclusive visit of the underground passageways and towers of the medieval fortress, just under the Renaissance Royal House. Thus, at the foot of the château¡¯s walls, they reach the Garçonnet Tower, built in the XVth century by order of Louis XI, from where they can reach the Lys Room, formerly a refectory for the guards. From here, they follow the rampart walk as far as the ditches of the old watch tower and then past the rooms containing lapidary fragments. The visitors then make their way through the maze of underground passages to the heart of the Minimes Tower. Accessible to visitors over the age of 7, in good physical condition.
