Bourg le Roi, a village of 36 hectares, the smallest in the département, still bears many traces of its rich historical past.

As you pass through the Portes Saint Rémy and Saint Mathurin and walk along the ramparts to the remains of the Tower, you'll get a good idea of the village's history.
The church, dedicated to Saint Julien, dates back to the 12th century but underwent several alterations in the 18th and 19th centuries. The bell tower adjoining the south side of the building was probably part of the village's defensive system.
The keep: a 12th-century vestige, built on a hill, it is cylindrical in shape and surrounded by ditches and embankments. Its strategic and defensive function was set aside from the 15th century onwards.
The rampart and gates of Saint Rémy and Saint Mathurin: the village is completely surrounded by a rampart, which was also preceded by a moat and whose construction dates back to the 12th century. Two gates remain today. Despite major alterations in the 19th century, this remains one of the finest examples of fortification in the area.
