"Revel is a former medieval village whose occupation dates back to the High Middle Ages. With its narrow streets, the village is located on the hill and dominates the plain of Bièvre-Valloire." Quote from Wikipedia.
Château de Revel: Located on a hill overlooking the plain of Valloire, the Château der Revel is mentioned at the end of the 11th century.
In 1402, Master Jacques de Beaujeu, master builder of the Dauphins, reported major repairs to be carried out on the large tower of the castle, probably the keep, as well as the small tower and its prison, called ratier.
Fearing that they would serve as a fortified point for unscrupulous people, the towers and hovels of the castle were demolished in 1623. Only the base of a circular tower is preserved, probably the small tower, from which two perpendicular walls emerge.
