    A very pleasant visit to Talmont Castle, which also offers several other activities such as a fascinating falconry show and an escape game booklet for children. They also provide a golf cart service with a castle employee who drives people with mobility difficulties down to the castle grounds. However, the castle is partially in ruins, so there is little to see inside. Nevertheless, the setting is very pleasant and the castle is quite beautiful.
