The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
L'ensemble se compose de trois esplanades nivelées à des niveaux différents. Il ne subsiste plus grand chose des murs extérieurs au-dessus du sol, si ce n'est quelques fenêtres indiquant la fin du 13e siècle. La partie ouest a conservé deux petites tours flanquantes. Des murs intérieurs, il ne reste plus rien hormis quelques amorces au ras du sol. Seul le donjon circulaire est resté debout, isolé, avec quelques solives des anciens planchers.

History
The ensemble is composed of three esplanades levelled at different levels. There remains little of the external walls above ground, except for a few windows indicating the end of the 13th century. The western part has preserved two small flanking towers. Of the internal walls, nothing remains except a few beginnings at ground level. Only the circular keep has remained standing, isolated, with a few joists from the old floors.
