Built between the 12th and 14th centuries, the Moulin des Tours mill and its Romanesque bridge immerse you in the medieval world as you discover one of the most beautiful wonders of Aquitaine, once owned by the d'Albret family and Henri de Navarre, the future Henri IV.
Why visit the Moulin des Tours?
This monument, unique in France, has been partially restored and enhanced, inviting you to immerse yourself in an exhibition spread over three levels, retracing more than eight centuries of history.
Climb the medieval staircase and reach the ancient rampart walk, 20 meters above the ground. A unique climb, reserved for the most daring!
Come and discover this monument with a guide, and you are guaranteed a personalized experience, a special moment filled with fascinating conversations, laughter over juicy anecdotes, and surprises in unexpected details.
A fun tour that allows children to discover the world of medieval lords, architects, and craftsmen. Dressed in costume, they become real actors in their discoveries and take part in the attack with swords and shields.
By listening, observing, and solving puzzles, children expand their knowledge.
