The keep of Pons is located in the commune of Pons in the French department of Charente-Maritime in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. This tower is the old keep of the castle of Pons. 33 m high, it is visible from a long distance and is the symbol of the city. With the Saint-Gilles chapel, the remains of the ramparts and the main building, it constitutes the remains of the ancient castle of Pons.

This Romanesque church was built in the 12th century, but all that remains of the original building is the bell tower. It was modified in the 15th and 16th centuries. A Renaissance style facade replaces the original facade and the square bell tower was built in the 12th century.

Dating from the Gallo-Roman period, the so-called "Pas de la Mule" bridge is located on the Seugne. Made up of 6 blocks of stone, it linked the village of Lansac to a water mill called "la cité". It also allowed the passage of animals transporting cereals and flour between the watermill, in the commune of Saint Georges Antignac, and the windmills of Les Groies in Clion.

For people with a head for heights, it is worth climbing the 30-metre-high tower. There is also a museum in the building. It is one of the 'Monument historique' in France.

A pleasant visit with a passionate guide.
