Clisson

We realised we were heading back to La Tranche rather early so we decided to make a detour and aimed for Clisson and its superb castle that once guarded the southern border of Brittany.

After a very welcome cool beer in the covered market we found ourselves the last visitors of the day at the château and had the whole place to ourselves.

The old bridge from below
The castle is very imposing...
...especially on this glorious day.

The entrance...
...and in we go!



It must have been a huge building in its heyday
The bridge from on high



Almost like our Bingley house!
The tower was majorly deep
The aerial photograph at the exit showed the grandeur of the site

Definitely warrants a return visit, folks!
