Château de Couches, Medieval fortress in Couches, France.
The castle features four crenellated towers, a high keep, a justice tower, and multiple underground passages connecting different sections of the structure.
Built in the 11th century to protect the Paris-Chalon route, the castle underwent modifications after Claude de Montaigu's death in 1471 during battle.
The castle organizes wine tasting sessions focusing on regional varieties like Aligoté and Pinot Noir, paired with local Charolais beef specialties.
Located 30 kilometers from Beaune, the castle offers guided tours in costumes, allowing visitors to explore the Gothic chapel and living quarters.
The fortress contains an extensive network of underground tunnels that served both defensive purposes and facilitated movement between different castle sections.
