Coming from the village, after having climbed the hill, you first walk along the castle wall, which has numerous stone cross bays and is separated from the road by a dry moat.

A little further back, a forecourt opens up through a semicircular gateway and a pedestrian door.

The châtelet then gives access to the courtyard of honour, a pavilion projecting from the surrounding wall, covered by a four-sided roof with a triangular pediment dormer on each side.

There were two drawbridges, one for the carriage gate, the two grooves of which frame a single-rail bay, the other with a single arrow for the wicket.

Side loopholes protected the moat.

The porch, which opens into the courtyard of honour through a large semi-circular arch, has a rare ceiling with rafters set at an angle between curved tufa stones.

On the walls of the ancient fortress stands a 16th century dwelling, lit by mullioned windows.

To the north, the castle had a building that was built around a square, which has now disappeared. There is still an enormous square tower, a real dungeon with a very slender roof, housing a stone spiral staircase of remarkable size.

This ensemble was redesigned in the middle of the 16th century. The attic is illuminated by the characteristic dormer windows of the period, with lintels decorated with circles and triglyphs, tympanum occupied by a man’s or woman’s head, all topped by a triangular pediment, framed by pilasters, now damaged and sometimes even destroyed.

To the south, a narrow wing forms a gallery with five semicircular arches, dating from the Henry II period.
