Remains of the castle of Châlus-Maulmont, or Tower of the fort, dating from the 13th century. The village of Châlus is crossed by the Richard-Coeur-de-Lion tourist route and it is here that the King who was allegedly assassinated.

Superb castle. It has been beautifully restored. We can see the different years of restoration and what a titanic job! We project ourselves according to the past centuries. The garden is very well done because it is from 1995. Bravo!

Also with the MTB beautiful tours through the forests all around. Unfortunately, many routes are not included in the maps and must be "discovered". Local maps from the Office de Tourisme on Schlossplatz help!
