Les Tours de Merle

A 12th-century castrum overlooking the Maronne River, Les Tours de Merle lies on the border between the Limousin, Aquitaine and Auvergne regions. Set in a 10-hectare park, this jewel of medieval Limousin invites you to discover its impressive fortress and its various exceptional viewpoints, a garden of plants cultivated in the Middle Ages, the Maronne River and its shady paths, a store selling local produce and much more…
Children aged 6 and over can follow in the footsteps of the Lords of Merle, with a game of riddles along the way.
During vacation periods, guided tours and “naturally medieval” activities!
