Pierrefonds Castle

Highlight • Castle

Built in the 14th century, the Château de Pierrefonds was the seat of Duke Louis of Orléans. Then dismantled in the 17th century, Napoleon III decided to rebuild it from the ruins. It was the architect Eugène Viollet-le-Duc who took care of the work to make it a medieval-style castle.

Pierrefonds Castle

Highlight • Castle

Pierrefonds Castle has many stories to tell. It was built towards the end of the 14th century by the Duke of Orléans. Dismantled in the 17th century and left in ruins for years, it was rebuilt on the orders of Napoleon III. The result is a castle with a medieval and defensive appearance.

The secret tunnel of Palesne 🤫

Highlight • Structure

Tunnel well hidden in the forest which allows to join Palesne when you arrive from the agricultural plains in the south and the east of Palesne. Quite an amazing passage to do because the tunnel is quite long!
