Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,644 reviews
Dating back to the 15th century, the Chateau de Pierrefonds was comprehensively restored and altered by architect Viollet-le-Duc in the 19th century to transform it into an imperial residence for Napoleon III. The chateaux often seems to have been specially built for a swashbuckling film with its richly varied painted and sculpted decors, its defensive system and drawbridge, walkways and drop-boxes, not to forget the two reconstructions of medieval siege engines.

Reviewed By Bozeman-Dublin - Trim, Ireland
The most magnificent castle perched atop a hill overlooking the beautiful town and lake of Pierrefonds. It really is like something out of a fairy tale. No wonder there are stories about it inspiring the castle in the Disney logo. Whether that's true or not I don't know, no matter, it just has to be seen - and enjoyed - to be believed. It's more impressive from the town below than inside. It's worth a tour of course, don't get me wrong, and certainly worth the short but steep walk up from the town to see it. But the best view is from below, it is just awe inspiring.
