Archon: Holiday apartments and holiday homes

Archon is home to the Église fortifiée Saint-Martin d'Archon. Its two façade towers are connected by a gallery and protect the church's only entrance with their loopholes. The church is believed to date from the 12th century. The two defensive towers of the western façade were listed as historic monuments by decree of 3 June 1932.
