Le Cachot

Reviewed By emgarb - North Carolina, United States

In this interesting and eclectic shop tucked away in a fascinating historical French town, the owner was fixing up the basement of his store over a period of several years. He made some fascinating discoveries and he tells you the story during the tour. He speaks simply and slowly and if you have a basic knowledge of French you can follow him - if not there are almost always bilingual tourists with you who translate as he speaks. If you want an unusual and long to be remembered experience, stop by Le Cachot!

Chateau de Pierrefonds

Dating back to the 15th century, the Chateau de Pierrefonds was comprehensively restored and altered by architect Viollet-le-Duc in the 19th century to transform it into an imperial residence for Napoleon III. The chateaux often seems to have been specially built for a swashbuckling film with its richly varied painted and sculpted decors, its defensive system and drawbridge, walkways and drop-boxes, not to forget the two reconstructions of medieval siege engines.

Reviewed By Bozeman-Dublin - Trim, Ireland

The most magnificent castle perched atop a hill overlooking the beautiful town and lake of Pierrefonds. It really is like something out of a fairy tale. No wonder there are stories about it inspiring the castle in the Disney logo. Whether that's true or not I don't know, no matter, it just has to be seen - and enjoyed - to be believed. It's more impressive from the town below than inside. It's worth a tour of course, don't get me wrong, and certainly worth the short but steep walk up from the town to see it. But the best view is from below, it is just awe inspiring.

Memorial de l'Armistice

This clearing marks the site of the drawing up of the armistice agreement with the defeated Germans in 1918.

Reviewed By GeorgeN1744 - The Hague, The Netherlands

This is a very interesting memorial. One can see statues, displays about the two World Wars and a railway carriage identical to where the surrenders of 1918 and 1940 were signed. Inside this the seating of each of the delegates and participants is shown.
