About the route

The route begins with the history of the ducal tower: its founder, architecture, owners and traces of rebuilding. These themes explain how the medieval residence and its interiors changed.

The next stop focuses on Lancelot. His expedition and romance with Guinevere form a painted narrative read from the lower band of scenes to the upper one.

The final stop introduces the tower's present-day custodians: the foundation that owns it and the association that supports its work. The route links the building's construction, surviving decoration and current conservation.
