The Old Village
|
|
|
It spreads between the castle southwards and the priory
northward.
|
|
|
It is fortified in the second half of the 13th century with a
wall that is 360 meter-long (about 1,100 feet)
|
|
|
Two gate houses give access to the village: the
"Porte Rachestia" westward and the "Porte
Dreytaz" towards the priory.
|
|
|
At least two manors ("maison fortes") were built,
belonging to the Beaumont & Saint Pierre noble families.
