The Château and fortifications formed one of the largest defensive structures ever constructed in France. Spreading over 14 hectares, Coucy originally included 33 towers and ramparts stretching over two kilometres. The four main corner towers were similar in size to the central keep of the royal palace of the Louvre while the keep at Coucy was the largest castle tower in Christendom. The ruins remain an impressive and evocative reminder of Coucy’s grandeur despite being badly damaged in the First World War.

Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 73 reviews
Guise, an strategic town in the Valley of the Oise, has been a fortress at the heart of European events from the Xth to the XXth century. With its medieval keep, underground passageways, casemates and bastions, this castle introduces us to the story of the evolution of military architecture over hundreds of years. It reflects the power of some of its owners, such as the famous Dukes of Guise.

What a treat! Kept us all entertained for a few hours. Great signage and a self guided tour so you can wander at your own pace. Some steep steps and climbs up into the tower and down into the cellars - be prepared! Really atmospheric (the cellars are a bit spooky!), great range of exhibitions and discoveries without turning it into a museum. The kids loved it, so did we!! The fort also supports young people who volunteer to help restore the attraction, defo worth a quick donation or purchase from the gift shop to allow this great work to continue.

On the Champagne route, this private estate is lived in all year round. Its sumptuous interiors were created by prestigious artists at the behest of the Princes of Savoie. Read about its fascinating history: the Princes of Condé, Richelieu, Olympe and her mysterious “powders”. You will be hugely impressed by the "Watteau" wing and its recently discovered frescoes, the Servandoni ballroom and the drawing room decorated by Oudry with its unforgettable “magic” mirror.

My son and I were on a 10-day father-son trip through the Champagne, Alsace and Western Germany regions. I had been yo Chateau de Fere some 30 years ago and had kept a highly memorable souvenir of my stay there then. This time, it was even better as Emma welcomed us as if we were family. This is a gorgeous property located within 1.25 hours from CDG airport. We will be here again...in this lifetime! Thanks Emma!
