Fortified castle built on the model of the shell keep, the castle of Saint-Jean-d'Angle today benefits from a classification as a Historic Monument and has received the Grand Prize for Old French Houses and the Europa Nostra Prize for its restoration.
A real immersion in the 12th century, the site is an opportunity to dive into the history of Lord Lusignan and the fairy Mélusine. Become a medieval leisure park, the castle of Saint-Jean-d'Angle thus reveals the last catapults in operation of Charente-Maritime, a farm of yesteryear or an archery stand. On site, young and old can immerse themselves in puzzle games or learn about old wooden games.
Rose garden, barefoot path, musical forest or even activities around the legend of Mélusine complete the offer of this exceptional site.
