Night visit in the past of the castle which associates anguish fear nervous laughter !! I recommend completely. The speakers are really in their role, the guide is scary. All this in a very beautiful castle which is conducive to a terrifying visit. We went there as a family and loved it. We will go back for other events, sure !!!

More than pleasant guided visit to the Château de Trélon. The guide is very understanding, kind, cultured and funny. He made us discover every corner of the castle with elegance and romanticism. The place offers an ideal panoramic view of the fields. We feel good and rested, in the company of a squirrel seen near a tree. The rooms are very luxurious and loaded with a fascinating story that the guide has managed to convey to us with precision.

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.
