Beautiful and very well maintained park. What can we say about the welcome on a “Heritage Days” weekend? Although announced, no possibility of visiting anything in the castle...apart from the winter garden (that is to say go into this room to pay 6€ for the free visit of the park: the same price as the rest of the year "minimum" welcome from the chatelaine.

The parc is great and well preserved! The view is beautiful. A very nice place to go if you like nature and want to relax.

Superb castle nestled in lush greenery. Discovering the wooded and flowery park is ideal for relaxing. Allow 1h30 for the visit to enjoy all the little architectural and landscape surprises of this site. We were very kindly received.

Very nice place with a very nice park entrance 5 € to enjoy a 2 hour walk with a plan, part of the French garden and the rest rather in English Two ponds, one with very big fish and lots of pretty things to do.

Visit 2 people including 1 blind person. The unfriendly hostess refuses to apply 1 reduction. But only give 1 flyer! We discover that the castle cannot be visited. The park, rather 1 meadow and at the end of the forest. All the surrounding villages are flowery, the park practically nothing. Large trees have no name signs. We have better things to do in the area for more pleasant and free walks

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.
