The Château de Coussay, inspired by the Italian Renaissance, is one of the first examples of the French Renaissance. Armand-Jean Duplessis, then bishop of Luçon, lived there before becoming the famous Cardinal de Richelieu in 1622.

A beautifully restored castle which now houses the Living Museum of the Middle Ages. An impressive building to look at. Admire it from the outside as you pass by.
