Beautiful old and very well maintained moated castle ( P R I V A T OPERATIONS )

very beautiful moated castle from the 13th century. Privately owned, therefore not accessible, but nice to look at from the outside

A well-preserved moated castle from the 13th century. Not publicly accessible, but maybe that's why it's still in this 1A condition? A short walk around the lake is recommended. Very romantic.

You don't just drive past it, because this fairytale castle is not on a real street. The whole property is in great shape, the green areas of the park are very well maintained, you can walk around the whole moated castle and collect wonderful impressions or capture them in pictures. Our conclusion: this bike tour was also crowned with an absolute highlight.

A very beautifully landscaped and well-kept castle ? A true romantic idyll. The castle is looked after by the neighbors most of the year and always looks good. The entire facility is prepared with a lot of love. The private owners live in America and mainly use the castle as a residence in the summer months.

Jacques Cartier Manor House

The Jacques Cartier Manor House is the only existing property wich belonged to Cartier, the discoverer of Canada, in 1534. It’s a rare example of a great 16th century explorer’s home. Jacques Cartier opened up the North American continent to the French via the Gulf of Saint Lawrence. The manor house has been restored and furnished to illustrate both the everyday life and the travels of its famous owner. From the kitchen with its red clay floor, to the explorer’s bedroom, this museum has lost none of its period charm.
