Château de Boucard, Medieval castle in Le Noyer, France
The castle stands on the banks of La Grande Sauldre river, featuring a medieval entrance with outer walls and angled towers at each corner.
The Boucard family from Gascony acquired the land through marriage with Anne de Blancafort at the end of the 14th century and built the first structure.
The Renaissance facade displays the Latin motto 'Victrix patentia fatia', representing the architectural transition from medieval defensive structures to refined residential buildings.
The castle opens Wednesday through Sunday from 2:30 PM to 6:30 PM during summer months, with adult admission at 7 euros and children under 10 free.
The castle maintains both its medieval defensive elements and Renaissance living quarters, including apartments where the Duke of Navailles resided from 1671 to 1674.
