トルフーのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

nice, varied and easy walk I recommend it for getting your legs moving.

Castle closed to the public, but it is bordered by a shared road limited to 30 km/h which is very pleasant.

Driving through the idyllic French countryside, you’ll come across the magnificent Château du Mesnil-Voysin. This impressive 18th-century château, surrounded by lush gardens and a serene moat, offers a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of the French aristocracy. You can explore the beautifully preserved interior, admire the intricate architectural details, and stroll through the peaceful grounds.

The Chamarande estate is listed as a historical monument. The park is open all year round, and you can explore the vast estate along the trails and paths.

At the end of the 12th century, the estate was allegedly owned by a knight Gautier, "lord of Mesnil", and a liege man of King Philippe Auguste. In the 15th century, the property passed into the hands of the Karnazet family, who passed it down through several generations, until 1455, when Jean de Vaillant took over the reins of the estate. The Mesnil chapel was commissioned by Renée Sabathier, wife of Guillaume Hérouard, secretary of the King's chamber, in 1611. She was buried there in 1616.

A bridge name like that can't be made up. ;)

Saint Martin of Tours is the equivalent of a rock star in the 4th century. Gaul is torn apart by army revolts and the struggle between Greco-Roman and Celtic-Germanic influences. In the middle of all this, Christianity is gradually spreading. And Martin, a former Roman legionary, who became a Christian after cutting his coat in two to give it to a poor man (a very brief story), begins to announce the Gospel in the countryside. Christianity changes the situation in this slave-owning and violent society. Work regains its dignity (Ora et Labora) and Saint Martin will become extremely popular, all the way to Torfou, where the parishioners will take him as their patron saint.

Really a nice View! 👋🏻
