Overview

On the Journée de Patrimoine Européene we travel to two NEW historic destinations in Northern France. We begin our day with a visit to the magnificent Pierrefonds Castle. Located about 70km Northeast of Paris it is a true “château reborn”. A first castle was erected on this spot in the 12th century, but the origins of the current castle date back to the 14th century by the Duke Louis of Orléans. It was taken down in the 17th century and was in ruins when Napoleon III decided to commission architect Eugène Viollet-le-Duc to rebuild it. He applied his architectural designs to create the ideal château, such as would have existed in the Middle Ages. Nowadays, it’s a great tourist destination, so we cannot leave it of from our event calendar. Our second destination we drove by already 30+ times during our Champagne trips, namely the medieval walled city of Laon. Its majestic Cathedral, with its 4 identical towers, is visible from far away as it is built on a hill in the middle of town. The city also has an very old Chapel of the Templars and several other medieval buildings.
