This medieval castle was built in the 12th century and served as the residence of King John II of France. You can admire the architecture of the castle which has retained some original windows and a Renaissance-style chapel with painted vaults. The castle is surrounded by fields and forests, providing a peaceful and natural setting for your hike.
