Tips

Pussy et Gégé

June 6, 2025

. Originally, there was an ovoid-shaped enclosure flanked by about ten towers and a gatehouse, located to the northeast. The fortified town was located to the north of the fortress and extended a little to the east. A dry moat separated the fortified town from the fortress. A barbican protected the gatehouse. A Romanesque keep of the Niort type, with its courtyard and small enclosure, was located in the castle courtyard, roughly in the middle in the north-south direction and located to the west. The fortified city extended from Rue de Gaulle, with a gate located at the Carré de l'Europe (the Porte de Nantes). The ramparts then continued to Rue de la Place du Champ de Foire, then descended to the Esplanade des Olivettes, where a gate was located near the roundabout on Rue des Jardins (Porte de Tiffauges). The ramparts then ran along the Asson River, up Rue du Pont Jarlet and around the barbican not far from the Presbytery. The dry moats surrounding the city were 16 meters deep in the 15th century.
