A little history

In the 9th century, in order to counter the waves of Norman invasion, a motte-and-bailey castle, the curtis alentis (or château d'Alon), was raised on the steep banks of the Erdre at the lieu-dit of Alon, to the south of the village of Joué. It consists of a round motte dominating a branch of the Erdre. At the beginning of the 13th century the châtellenie de Vioreau was referred to by the name of Joué in reference to the lord who resided there, Hervé de Joué. The château, where the families Ancenis, Chateaubriand de Dinan, Montfort-Laval, Montmorency and Bourbon Condé succeeded one another until the Revolution, was in fact one of the hunting residences of these great lords.
