Château de Villebon, Medieval castle in Villebon, France.
The castle features six crenellated towers with deep water-filled moats and a functional drawbridge at its square-shaped military structure.
Built in the late 14th century by Jeannet d'Estouteville, the castle endured seven sieges by English forces during the Hundred Years War.
Marcel Proust included references to the castle in his initial manuscript of 'In Search of Lost Time', originally titled 'Du côté de Villebon'.
Guided tours operate without reservation from May to October, with daily access except Mondays in July and August for 10 euros per person.
The castle grounds maintain a deer herd since the 18th century, with French gardens designed by Sully containing water features and canals.
