The Château de Meung sur Loire's Dungeon and the Villon Legacy The Château de Meung sur Loire, a medieval fortress in central France, has borne witness to centuries of history within its walls.
This imposing structure is significant not only for its role in French history but also for its association with François Villon, an enigmatic poet.
In the 15th century, Jean de Villon, a noble from Paris, was involved in a conspiracy to kidnap Charles, Duke of Orléans, who was being held captive at Meung sur Loire.
