At the Château de Monthoiron, it is Leonardo DeVinci who played the architect. The Fortress Tower, designed in the 16th century, is his only known creation in France!

Forgotten for five centuries and considered an ordinary medieval ruin, it rose from its ashes at the end of the 20th century. Discover the secrets of this discovery through various activities!
