RE: French Living Blog II: Château de Pierrefonds
Beautiful post with great photos. I've been to Pierrefonds and liked it as much as you did. Interesting fact: This is where they filmed much of the BBC "Merlin" series (https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00mjlxv) which played across the pond as well AFAIK.
If you loved Pierrefonds I'm sure you and your wife will like Guédelon, where you can actually watch how they're building a medieval castle: https://www.guedelon.fr/en/
I understand you live in Senlis N of Paris. From there it's only 200-odd klicks, i.e. 3 hours, down the A6. You can incorporate Auxerre in the trip as well, which has better accomodations and is a neat town on the river Yonne. Great food, superb wines as well ;-) Now is the perfect time 'cause it's not so freakin' hot anymore. Enjoy!

That's interesting. I never watched the series but the castle would be a great place to film such a show. Guédelon sounds cool as well. I'll have to add that to the list of places to visit.
Nice photo. That's a neat perspective - looking put into the courtyard from inside. Very nice

If you watch "Versailles" on Netflix (recommend it!) you'll recognize some portions of Pierrefonds as well :-)
I haven't seen that but I'll check it out. I'm currently looking for a new Netflix show. Thanks!

Pierrefonds kinda looks like Hagworts in Harry Potter... That'll be interesting to see.
