Explore the Château de Monts sur Guesnes and plunge into the origins of the Kingdom of France, discover incredible destinies, epic adventures and the importance of power plays…
It’s an accessible epic for the general public, with history buffs rubbing shoulders with apprentice knights, all won over by a spectacular, contemporary setting in the heart of buildings dating from the late Middle Ages.
In an innovative scenography, wander from room to room to discover the history of Poitou, from Eleanor’s Banquet to the Hundred Years’ War (immersive rooms).
