Built by architect Pons Descoyl, the structure functioned both as a royal residence and defensive stronghold, its design reflecting the martial and courtly demands of medieval rule. The complex includes gardens and overlooks the city, underscoring its strategic and ceremonial importance. Now classified as a monument historique inscrit, the palace stands as a significant example of Gothic military architecture from its era.
