ハッピの洞窟・トップ5

A beautiful castle - but you have to pay attention to the opening times - there is a lunch break

Atypical historical site.

Pretty building to see on the other bank from the towpath

Today's Château d'Epagne was not built until the beginning of the 18th century and was remodeled in the 19th century.

The ruins of the Château d'Eaucourt are the remains of a medieval castle (late 14th century - early 15th century) on the territory of the commune of Eaucourt-sur-Somme, in the west of the Somme department.

The 18th-century castle is attached to two towers of an earlier 13th-century castle. More recently it gradually fell into disrepair until 2020 when it found new owners who have been committed to the restoration ever since. Many volunteers also help with this. During our visit we were lucky enough to meet two of them who showed us around the castle and the vegetable garden where very sustainable gardening can be admired. More information can be found on the castle's website https://chateaudebouillancourt.com/

The castle with its pretty outbuildings is somewhat hidden behind trees. From the unpaved access road you could see it reasonably well. You can find some information at http://www.chateau-fort-manoir-chateau.eu/chateaux-somme-chateau-a-citerne-chateau-de-yonville.html
