Have you ever wanted to visit a castle? With this self-guided audio tour, you can visit an authentic medieval castle built from 1360-1410. Located only 20 minutes from central Paris, the castle is easily accessible by metro. Come on my tour to learn about the medieval castle — its construction, its features, its defenses. We will take the drawbridge over the moat and enter through the main tower.  We will visit the keep and its residential area. We'll make the rounds on the wooden terrace which commands views for miles around. We will climb a dizzying spiral staircase to the top of the castle and see the battlements with its bell tower, just like the soldiers who once guarded the castle. Then we descend into the dungeons and kitchens. I provide the historical context to help you learn about life in the Middle Ages! Note!

The cemetery also contains memorials connected to major events in French history, adding further historical depth to its peaceful grounds.
