France's most beautiful castles: what are they? I'm sure you've wondered at some point. Today we take a look at them in this post. France is one of the countries whose culture and influence has spread throughout the world. The different historical periods have given rise to a series of traditions, very characteristic gastronomy, but also architecture.
The most beautiful castles in France that are worth a visit:
CHÂTEAU DE SAUMUR
Located a few kilometres from Angers, it is a castle with spectacular views of both nature and the city. The roofs of the towers are more reminiscent of a dream palace than a fortress. Dating back to the 10th century, it is home to several museums.
CHÂTEAU DU HAUT-KOENIGSBOURG
Situated almost on the border with Germany, this strategic fortress was burned and sacked during the Middle Ages. Left to its own devices, it was given to Emperor Wilhelm II of Germany. It was confiscated and returned to France after the First World War. Today it is very popular and visited by thousands of tourists every year.
CITÉ DE CARCASSONNE
One of the oldest fortresses in France and Europe. Its construction began in the Roman Empire, more than 5,000 years ago, to protect the trade routes to the south of the country. And the different settlers improved it, adding rings and improvements to make it practically impregnable.
CHÂTEAU DE VITRÉ
Located in the province of Brittany, a few kilometres from Rennes and built around the 11th century, this fortress with more than 900 years of history is now the town's town hall. Its extensive restoration work and imposing entrance will delight all lovers of the Middle Ages.
