    A very old castle, which focuses its tourism upon its time ruled by King Richard I. A fantastic place with, shows, kids events and freedom to walk about. While no means large, it's quaint, fun and everyone seems to relish working there.

    A great castle - but that is easy for me to say as i just like ' old stuff'. The site is clearly set up for spectacular re-enactments, but for us on Saturday was just a regular castle. It sounds patronising, buf it is always beneficial to see history from someone else's perspective. Perhaps I'm just easily impressed. A (reported) fact in passing: Richard the Lionheart could speak English. But that apart - see the castle!

    Nice show, telling the historical story about the castle and its king. Small downside if you're not into French: the whole story is told in French. Further, you can actively play old games from the age of knights and have a look at the castle. Prices are ok seen the activities you can enjoy.

    Really interesting castle to visit with information in English as well as French. The whole experience is brilliant, from the lovely walk around what was the moat, with medieval music playing gently...
