Château des Cars

The castle had a moat and drawbridge and was surrounded by a second perimeter wall beyond which were landscaped gardens.

Eventually, in the 14th century, the castle passed from the Barrys of Aixe to the Pérusses, a family of knights originally from Ségur-le-Château in Correze.

[3] At the time of the French Revolution, the Pérusse family emigrated to England and the castle was pillaged and eventually sold to quarrymen who demolished it for re-sale as building material, sparing only the artillery tower in the south-west angle and part of the main tower.

Today, the castle is the property of the commune, which is trying, with the help of an archaeological society, to display the remains effectively.

it is a Listed Historical monument of the ministère français de la Culture.
