Tower of Crest

The tower of CREST, listed in the register of historical monuments stands proudly at the gateway to the Vercors From the terasse of this, at (52 metres, the highest Donjon of France,a striking view unfolds across the Drome valley and surrounding mountains. On the inside, the tower comes alive with its lightings, sound effects, furnshings, models and explanations recounting 900 years of history. The medieval Tower with its battlements and lord's residence recreates the life of feudal times. Between the15th and the19th centuries, the Tower served as a prison for protestants, libertines and republicans and the graffiti left on its walls evoke the prisoner's sense of rebellion, their suffering and their hopes .

We, and especially the kids loved climbing the tower and its chamber. The views on top are majestic and the castle is renovated very nicely. Really impressive and a must see if you visit the region.
