Situated at the foot of the mounts Blond, the charming village of Mortemart is listed as one of the Most Beautiful Villages of France. This village has preserved numerous traces of its past, like the remains of the dukes of Mortemart's château, beautiful granite houses, two former convents and the picturesque 16th-century wooden covered market halls. Next to Place Royale square where the latter are located, the fort offers a peaceful and romantic setting with moats and a tranquil garden.
