A lot of effort has gone into making this a fun and educational day out. Not only do you have a castle with a moat but also you get to dress up and take part in lots of activities from the middle ages. We really enjoyed the trebuchet show even though the kids didn't understand a word as it was in French.

5. Chateau de Jonzac
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 10 reviews
The Jonzac castle is the city's symbol. Installed on a rocky spur and magnificently overlooking the Seugne Valley, the structure withstood attacks from the Hundred Years' War, Huguenots and slingers. The stronghold was transformed into a well-groomed seigniorial residence during the 17th century. The town council and sub prefecture officials have settled in the castle during the 19th century, still mindful of its state of preservation. During a guided tour, you may learn about the edifice's thousand year history, and wander through the city council's museum, the wedding hall where seigneurs' portraits are displayed, and the theatre from the Napoleon III era. Should you decide on going up to the wall walk, you will be ravished by one of the finest views of the town and the structure's impressive framework. Guided tours of the castle, please consult the website.

Built in the 14th century and now classified as a “Historic Monument”, the castle of Crazannes in Charente-Maritime has been restored to provide modern comfort in a beautiful medieval setting. The nickname of “Castle of Puss in Boots” goes back to the 17th century, when the castle was the property of the real Marquis de Carabas who inspired Charles Perrault to write his famous tale. Nestled at the heart of an 8 hectare park, the castle along with the Roman chapel, 11th century keep, dovecot and museum of rural objects all contribute to the charm of this beautiful location.
