Vouvant, a legendary medieval town Guided group tour

Of course you can. Our sales department can create a tailor-made half or full day for you: another guided tour, a heritage site, an outdoor activity, a gourmet break, a meeting with an artisan…

Just tell us what you’d like to do: we’ll put together the best experiences in the area and take care of all the organisation.

This tour is aimed primarily at adults or mixed groups (adults and children).

Children are welcome in adult groups, but the tour is not specially designed for them.
To find out more about Vouvant for groups of children, see Groups for young visitors.

The ascent of the Tour Mélusine is an optional extra in addition to the price of the guided tour.

The tour of the Tour Mélusine lasts approximately 20 to 30 minutes in the company of the guide. The tour is limited to 25 people at a time, and access to the rooms and the summit is via a staircase with a total of 122 steps. A group of more than 25 people will therefore be split into smaller groups for the dungeon tour if this option is chosen.

By choosing this option for the interested members of the group, you will discover the only remaining vestige of Vouvant’s former castle. You will visit two vaulted rooms and reach the top to enjoy a panoramic view 36 metres above the castle’s northern moat.

In 2026, group rates for groups of 10 or more are as follows:

• 1.50 per person aged 13 and over
• 1.00 per child aged 7 to 12
• Free for children under 7
