In Avressieux, in the Savoie region, the château de Montfleury is built around a thirty-metre-high 13th-century keep known as the Tour Sarrazine. Later centuries added a main residence, a hexagonal tower and a watch-turret in the 16th century, then a Renaissance-style wing in the 19th. The building now houses a museum of local heritage and has been used as a film set, including for a story about the smuggler Louis Mandrin, who once hid there.
