Château de Montréal, Renaissance castle in Issac, France

The Château de Montréal stands on a hill overlooking the Crempse valley, with its stone façade featuring colonnettes and mullioned windows from different periods.

Built in the 12th century and renovated in the 16th century, this fortress belonged to Claude de Pontbriand who joined Jacques Cartier's expedition to Canada in 1535.

The Renaissance chapel contains numerous sculptures, including statues of twelve apostles and a relic from General Talbot recovered after the Battle of Castillon.

The castle opens daily from July 14 to August 31, between 10:00 and 12:00, then 14:30 to 18:30, with guided tours available in French and English.

Underground passages from medieval times connect different parts of the castle, while the Italian garden features a collection of hibiscus and geometric yew arrangements.
