Come and discover Pierrefonds castle near Compiègne, which was dismantled in the 17th century before being restored by the architect Viollet-le-Duc. It is an extraordinary reworking of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Follow the parapet-walk and admire the perfectly decorated imperial apartments.

The castle has often been used as a location for filming including les Visiteurs, and The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc. The castle also serves as Camelot for the BBC series Merlin.
