Progress report - la Tour de Marmande

We wrote quite extensively about the restoration works of the Chateau de la Tour de Marmande in October 2020.

Susan was back in the area on Saturday and took this photo of the newly restored tower, sans scaffolding. There is still work happening on what we assume is the donjon (keep).


From this angle (and viewpoint) it really does look like a chateau rather than just a mysterious tower - which is how we always thought of it. There are echoes of le Grand Pressigny in the tower, which is unusual in this area.

You may have noticed that there was no blog posts over the weekend. We were busy last week, and they just didn't happen

Great to see it being restored but your picture had my eyes for a second or two... What's that fence going across the picture? Then refocused into ploughed field!!!

It looks like a giant stuck a pencil in the ground? Interesting structure. And interesting story.
