Somewhat hidden in the forest is this ruin of a medieval fortification

Building built from the second half of the 12th century for Henri Clément, one of the first marshals of France, you can only see the ramparts from the road. But behind the heavy gate of the imposing castle facade stands a unique monument that contains several castles in one built over several eras. Nicknamed the "Louvre du Gâtinais", the Château de Mez is one of the first copies of Philippe Auguste's Château du Louvre. But unlike the latter, managed to preserve almost all of its medieval architecture.
