Vandring

On the banks of the Sèvre Niortaise, in the heart of the Marais Poitevin Regional Natural Park, stands a keep with twin towers.

Formerly surrounded by an enclosure of approximately 700 square meters, it is today located in the city center of Niort, a stone's throw from the very beautiful Halles, designed by Eiffel.

The keep, built between the 12th and 13th century, has had several functions. A military fortress, it was also a prison and finally a museum. In 1840, it became the first building in Niort to be classified as a Historic Monument.

Started by Henri II, completed by Richard Coeur de Lion, this extraordinary castle does not seem out of place in the center of Niort, but of course it occupied a very strong position in the valley. Having received this region of France as a gift through his marriage to Eleanor of Aquitaine, he used this castle as his capital to defend it.

An evening round after the hard work shot 12km in 2h in wonderful weather in short clothes and sandals. The historical buildings, the watercourses and the variety inspired me!
