Private and still inhabited castle found totally unexpectedly on our way. What a pleasant surprise and what a story. We traveled through the ages thanks to the history lesson of our guide who knows the anecdotes of the castle very well. The library is historic and full of treasure. Please note, payment can only be made in cash or check!

You don’t want the big chateau mass tourism where you are waiting in line and are struggling to get trough the packed masses? Then go to the Le Gue-Pean. You will experience an amazing family run chateau with a tour from the owner. Beside the unique history of this place you will see special art and historic items inside. The energy of this place was amazing - can’t wait to see it again. Thank you!

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.
