Château de Chéronne

Tuffé-Val-de-la-Chéronne, France

Château de Chéronne was originally built in the 14th century, but nothing remains of original wooden building. The gatehouse, built around 1490, is the oldest part today. The Renaissance style chateau dates mainly from the 16th century and is surrounded by a moat (later filled).

Today Château de Chéronne is used for weddings and other events.

My son got married at Chateau de Chéronne last July and it was 2 unforgettable days! The property is magnificent, very well maintained, lots of comfortable accommodation in the castle as well as in pretty outbuildings allowing families and close friends to stay. The reception tent is also very beautiful. But above all, above all, the owners are charming and Ludovic who was our contact was from the beginning to the end of the process, available, efficient, understanding and really very, very friendly! I recommend with eyes closed or rather wide open as the place is beautiful and the organization of the wedding simplified by the support of Ludovic!

A magical place for a wedding and as part of a yoga retreat the place is surprising in its serenity, simple beauty, with large green spaces, buildings that speak "stories", this place has a truly beautiful soul. Lose yourself in the vegetable garden... a little English air reigns there. A real change of scenery 2 hours from Paris.

We rented one house in the farm right next to the castle. It was super clean and super comfortable. Lots of glasses, kitchen utensils, and that you need.

Walls of Constantinople

The Walls of Constantinople are a series of defensive stone walls that have surrounded and protected the city of Constantinople (today Istanbul) since its founding as the new capital of the Roman Empire by Constantine the Great. With numerous additions and modifications during their history, they were the last great fortification system of antiquity, and one of the most complex and elaborate systems ever built. They were also the largest and strongest fortification in both the ancient and medieval world.

Initially built by Constantine the Great, the walls surrounded the new city on all sides, protecting it against attack from both sea and land. As the city grew, the famous double line of the Theodosian Walls was built in the 5th century. Although the other sections of the walls were less elaborate, they were, when well-manned, almost impregnable for any medieval besieger.
