The Chateau de Pierrefonds is one of Frances most handsome and imposing medieval castles and yet to most visitors it is unknown.
Originally built as a fortress 600 years ago, it fell into disrepair for many years and then in the mid-19th century, Napoleon III commissioned it to be rebuilt.The castle is located on the eastern edge of the wonderous Forest of Compiegne, 80 km north of Paris.
There is no rail station, so you'll need to drive there yourself or hire a private driver to take you.
The drive up to the castle is worth the price of admission!!
