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 Old Bridge of Balizy, or the Templar Bridge, spans the Rouillon. Hidden in the heart of the Templar Woods, and surrounded by magnificent forest paths, it is a superb place for a mountain bike ride.

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.

Beautiful view of this castle from the beginning of the 17th century. Its dovecote is one of the largest in Ile de France.

It's a technical and driving pleasure, in X-Country or enduro (even if there is almost no difference in altitude).

I am unable to judge whether this bridge is actually connected to the Knights Templar Order, as described in the highlight title (the exact name would be “Poor Knighthood of Christ and the Solomonic Temple in Jerusalem”). In this case it would have to go back to the 12th or 13th century.

The construction style suggests that the bridge post-dates the Templars, but it is quite old. The bridge is said to be part of the pilgrim road from Paris to Santiago de Compostela, which would explain the interest of the Templars, responsible for pilgrimage routes, in the road. Fun sunlight effects at the end of autumn days. In October, the bridge is the Centre of a medieval day, a delight of children of all ages.
