Inside the walls, the older part of the chateau.

View of the countryside from the upper courtyard.

Dvae trying out a game like crokinole. He started his expertsie in shuffleboard in the 1700's.

A cooking stove in the newer area. Very interesting idea.

Chateau Biron

23 oktober 2018, Frankrike ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C

We stayed closer to home today and went to tour the Chateau we had seen on first arriving in the area - Chateau Biron. It started out as a Medieval Fort and during the 15th and 16th centuries was converted to a Chateau for the Biron family. They had their ups and downs, sometimes being on the wrong end of the guillitine, the sharp end. In the 18th century their lands were returned and they built another whole section to the Chateau. It was very interesting and quite large, including a church within the walls. The different areas had much different construction techniques and styles. Another warm day, we have been so lucky with good weather.Läs mer
