The Old Castle Castles / Towers / Forts in L'Île-d'Yeu

The Old Castle of the Isle of Yeu, proudly perched on a steep cliff at the tip of But, is a true emblem of the island. This medieval fort, built in the 14th century, played a crucial role in defending the island against pirates and invaders, particularly the English. Although the building is now in ruins, its imposing stone walls tell a rich story of battles and resistance. The outlines of the towers, ramparts and moats that once protected the fortress can still be seen.

Visiting the site offers a fascinating historical walk and an exceptional panorama of the wild coast and the ocean, revealing all the dramatic beauty of this corner of the island. The Old Castle is not just a ruin, it is the silent guardian of a turbulent past, which continues to fascinate visitors.
