    Hiking

    The Château de Montrésor overlooks the village of Montrésor, ranked among the most beautiful villages in France. It was bought by a Polish immigrant, Count Branicki who settled there in 1849 to flee Russia and the ukase of Tsar Nicolas I and still remains in the Branicki family today.

    Hiking

    Château de Montrésor was actually born twice
    From the outside, it looks like one castle, but it consists of two worlds:
    a medieval fortress from the 11th century;
    an elegant Renaissance residence from the 16th century.
    So you literally walk through almost 1000 years of history.


    According to a local legend, the name Montrésor comes from “mont du trésor” - the mountain of treasure. There was once a hidden treasure in the hill. Is that really true? Probably not… but a medieval castle naturally comes with a treasure story.
