You wouldn't expect it in such a small village, but this is one of the last castles in France that's still truly medieval. Think: deep moats, five robust round towers, and a square tower with those characteristic machicolations where boiling water used to be poured.
Perfect for those who love castles without the Disney flavor, but with character.

The Château de Chazelet was built in the middle of the 16th century by François Pot, Lord of Chassingrimont. The plot of Alexandre Dumas' novel La Fille du Marquis is based on the Château de Chazelet. He went to the castle several times to visit the owner.
