Comment
The eastern entrance façade is preceded by a vast esplanade known as "Place du Château". Today, this esplanade replaces the medieval lower courtyard, which was transformed into a stable yard in the 17th century.The 15th-century entrance châtelet comprises two pepperpot towers (a rubble stone north tower and a dressed south tower), topped by a gallery of Breton sandstone machicolations, and a fortified double storey (a covered walkway above which rises a recessed upper storey, topped by pointed roofs from which broad chimney stacks emerge). The symbolic meaning of this defensive structure outweighs its military necessity, as the lord probably wanted to show off his ostentation and deterrence. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ch%C3%A2teau_de_Vitr%C3%A9
