Tour de Bridiers

Situated at the entrance to the mediaeval town of La Souterraine, for a long time forgotten, covered in brambles and in ruins, Bridiers Tower lives again today and every summer serves as a backdrop to an enormous sound and light fresco.

Château of the Marche Vicounts Keep (13th century), the edifice has been restored and is now open to visits.

On top of the tower, at 30 m in height, a glass floor has been put in offering an open air panorama over the surrounding area and the mediaeval garden that is situated below the site.

Finally, since 2006, the Bridiers Historical Fresco has become the unmissable summer event (traditionally held the 1st weekend of August). More than 400 costumed actors act out the history of the site. A beautiful green theatre was constructed to allow spectators to better enjoy the show.
