3. Tower of Crest
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 348 reviews
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.

We love castles and we love ruins so this castle ruin did not disappoint at all! This one has been on our list for a couple years and we finally made the trip down. Just incredible all around. From the easy parking to starting up the hill to the base there was information being taught. You learn about how they made charcoal. The base camp had a nice souvenir store and cafe. We payed to play a game with the kids on our way to the castle and had a great time! I highly suggest doing the Castle of Challenges with Hugo game! We all had fun finding clues and solving the questions on the “long way” up. When we got to the castle, it was very impressive. Information boards everywhere about the area and the game continues to teach you and continue the fun! Incredible views from the top! Such a cool castle! When you finish your game be sure you make time to check your answers back at the P’tit Fleck and get a fun picture taken as your prize! Wear good shoes for climbing as the sandstone and stairs are a little slippery. Also if you have a full day, you can hike to 3 other castles close by which we will do next time. Another quick fact we found interesting as we are living in Heidelberg and love our castle there, the French general responsible for the destruction of Fleckenstein is also responsible for the complete destruction of the surrounding castles and Heidelberg castle.
