This was an amazing find. Most of the castles we had visited were the beautiful chateaus that were designed for leisure. This castle was designed for war. The interior is very large with many different towers and look out points. It's also famous for Joan of Arc meeting the French king. But I enjoyed the military aspect of it much more. The grounds are large and walking shoes are a must. The towers are accessible at ground level but you can climb both up and down the interior of the towers to see how the towers would defend against invasions. The castle also had walkways that could be locked but are open to the public. Just a wonderful trip. We spent hours walking around the fortress.
