Bright limestone cliffs, small whitewashed houses, a Romanesque sandstone church, and the waters of the Gironde River far below: Talmont-sur-Gironde is a picture-perfect village. And during the peak summer season, it's a tourist magnet, as one of the most beautiful villages in France. If you don't arrive early, you'll have trouble getting through the entrance gate. The large parking lot, which has long since taken up more space than the village itself, is full until late into the evening.

Inside the dwelling, there is an 18th century fireplace in the room on the right, another from the Renaissance period on the ground floor of the west pavilion, and a third, in marble, from the end of the 19th century, on the upper floor of the latter. The dividing wall between the pavilion and the rest of the dwelling is very thick: it is the old exterior wall of the dwelling, before the developments of the early 20th century and the construction of the pavilion. Also inside, there is a wooden spiral staircase. The ground floor of the south-east tower is occupied by an old bathroom, with a cement bathtub built into the floor.

The dwelling consists of a main building to which are attached to the west a rectangular pavilion, a round tower in the south-east corner, and another round tower to the north. The west pavilion, made of cut stone, is covered with a high hipped roof and a turned-up eaves, in flat tiles, topped with zinc finials and highlighted by an imposing cornice with modillions. Its south facade has a span of openings, as follows: on the ground floor, a French window in a low arch, decorated with a drip edge; on the first floor, a high window with a projecting frame, mascaron, and molded sill with consoles. The south-east corner of the pavilion is a watchtower. The south-east tower, called the "Renaissance tower", is topped with a pepperpot roof and a turned-up eaves, in flat tiles, topped with a zinc finial, and highlighted by a cornice. The tower, made of cut stone, has a first bay of openings to the south, formed by two windows and topped by a pediment. The ground floor window has a simple projecting frame, to which is added, for the upper floor window, a molded support with consoles, a projecting keystone and a mascaron. The pediment is arched and broken. Its 2 volutes frame a damping. On the east side, the tower has another bay of openings, treated in the same way as the previous one, with the exception of the pediment which is here replaced by a tall chimney stack in cut stone, finished with a curved pediment. Between the west pavilion and the south-east tower, the facade of the dwelling is presented under a broken section of the roof. The facade is characterized by the symmetry created by the distribution of the openings, i.e. 5 bays on the ground floor, including the central door, and 3 pass-through windows on the upper floor. The bays on the ground floor have a projecting frame and keystone. The door also has a segmental arched lintel. Originally, it was a low segmental arched door, topped with a bull's-eye window and a cornice. The 3 pass-through windows have in common a pediment, a projecting keystone and a molded support with consoles. The keystone of the central window also has a mascaron. Cut stones protrude from the wall of the facade. At the rear of the dwelling, to the north, the 2nd round tower is topped with a flat tile roof, topped with a zinc finial. The upper part of the tower, pierced with loopholes, has a larger diameter than the lower part

The Fond fountain appears on a map of Talmont in 1706, drawn up by the engineer Claude Masse. It is described as a "fountain or soft well". In his writings accompanying his maps and plans, Masse mentions this fountain, the only source of fresh water in Talmont. The fountain then appears on the cadastral map of 1831. The pump and the drinking troughs were apparently installed in 1868. Until the establishment of the water supply, this fountain was the only source of drinking water in the commune, the wells only providing brackish water. The pumping system, initially a balance, later included a wheel. Wooden pipes distributed the water to the stamps. At the top of the pump, another pipe allowed the barrels to be filled in carts. The fountain is located in front of the Fond lodge, at the end of Rue des Porteaux, below the Caillaud hill. The fountain itself is topped with a stone aedicule, with a metal mechanism. It is surrounded by seven monolithic stone drinking troughs or "timbres".
