Presentation of: TOUR MELUSINE
The Mélusine tower stands 36 metres high, offering an exceptional panoramic view of the Mervent-Vouvant forest massif and the village of Vouvant.
This circular keep dates back to the early 13th century, or even the very end of the 12th century.
According to legend, the tower was built by the fairy Mélusine.
Discover 2 vaulted domed rooms and enjoy an incredible panoramic view of the medieval town, the river La Mère and the edge of the forest from the top of the tower!
