Château de Montreuil-Bonnin, Medieval fortress in Vienne, France

The castle spreads over 100 meters by 50 meters with five towers and stands on a rocky outcrop overlooking the Boivre Valley.

Eleanor of Aquitaine, Richard the Lionheart, and Saint Louis visited this 13th-century castle, which operated as a major royal mint during medieval times.

The castle hosts an annual medieval festival in September with tournaments, equestrian shows, period music, and traditional craft demonstrations.

Guided tours are available every afternoon from August 20 to September 30, while group visits require advance reservations throughout the year.

The 25-meter-high keep underwent extensive restoration in 2020 after being selected for the national heritage lottery in 2018.
