In Époisses, in the Côte-d'Or region, this medieval castle still retains its double fortified enclosure, moats and towers that were lowered to roof level after the Revolution. The estate passed through the hands of the Mello, La Platière and finally Guitaut families, who still live there today. Visitors can see the Condé tower with its balcony, said by tradition to have been built on a whim of the Grand Condé, along with the parish church standing between the two enclosures.
