Logis Royal du château de Loches

You're standing at the Château de Loches, the castle that towers over this little town. First, look at that huge square tower. That's the keep, and it's what this castle is famous for. Fulk III, Count of Anjou, had it built in the eleventh century. It stands thirty-seven metres tall, with walls almost three metres thick. Imagine being an attacker looking up at that.
