The town of Villebois was the one we had trouble leaving last time. Despite it's signage issues, we deemed it worth a return trip mostly due to the show-off chateau with it's six watchtowers. First though, we walked up past the 1665 vintage covered market, then up the hill, passing the church of St Romain. We arrived just not-in-time for the guided castle tour, which we joined anyway. This was a fantastic opportunity to test our French comprehension in a archaeological context. We think we did quite well; although since leaving, we have noticed a few discrepancies between what we thought the guide said and the official leaflet. Maybe Robin Hood didn't have a holiday castle here after all.
The chateau is an eclectic mix of Roman (site of old fort), medieval, and Rennaissance. Comme tous les autres français chateau.
