This impressive chateau was built during the Hundred Years' War on the foundations of the 10th-century Benedictine monastery. It's been protected by a wall and three corner towers since it was built — the fourth one was pulled down in the 19th century.

But what about Napoleon's treasures? It is said that Napoleon stopped at the Chateau de Saint-Chartier on his way back from Waterloo. The locals say that the imperial sappers worked tirelessly for days to bury a treasure in the garden.
