Tour de l'Honneur

Located in Lesparre-Médoc, in the Gironde department and Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France, it is listed as a monument historique since September 10, 1913.

A castle previously occupied the site, referred in 12th century documents as « castello quid dicitur Sparra ».

[2] Because of Eleanor of Aquitaine marriage with Henri Plantagenêt, the castle became part of England for almost three centuries, until 1453.

Almost thirty metres high it has five storeys: a ground floor decorated with intersecting ribs and four arched rooms.

[5] Today, the tower is a museum dedicated to local history, craft and Médoc traditions.
