With 1001 to choose from, how do you pick just five? Well, the Dordogne Valley is called the “Valley of the 5 Chateaux” due to five historical chateaux that gained prominence during the Hundred Years War.
These castles transport you back in time, offering a glimpse into the grandeur and drama of the medieval era. One chateau was home to Richard the Lionheart for a time, another to “The Great Bastard of Savoy,” and another to a famous American-born French entertainer. If only the walls of these castles could talk.
It's like stepping into a real-life fairy tale, from the imposing stone towers to the intricate carvings and tapestries. So, I invite you to join me as we take a trip back into French history and five fabulous chateaux from Medieval France.
