Château de Chéronne

Tuffé-Val-de-la-Chéronne, France

Château de Chéronne was originally built in the 14th century, but nothing remains of original wooden building. The gatehouse, built around 1490, is the oldest part today. The Renaissance style chateau dates mainly from the 16th century and is surrounded by a moat (later filled).

Today Château de Chéronne is used for weddings and other events.

My son got married at Chateau de Chéronne last July and it was 2 unforgettable days! The property is magnificent, very well maintained, lots of comfortable accommodation in the castle as well as in pretty outbuildings allowing families and close friends to stay. The reception tent is also very beautiful. But above all, above all, the owners are charming and Ludovic who was our contact was from the beginning to the end of the process, available, efficient, understanding and really very, very friendly! I recommend with eyes closed or rather wide open as the place is beautiful and the organization of the wedding simplified by the support of Ludovic!

A magical place for a wedding and as part of a yoga retreat the place is surprising in its serenity, simple beauty, with large green spaces, buildings that speak "stories", this place has a truly beautiful soul. Lose yourself in the vegetable garden... a little English air reigns there. A real change of scenery 2 hours from Paris.

We rented one house in the farm right next to the castle. It was super clean and super comfortable. Lots of glasses, kitchen utensils, and that you need.

Argos Theater

The ancient Argos Theater was built in 320 BC. and is located in Argos, Greece against Larissa Hill. Nearby from this site is Agora, Roman Odeon, and the Baths of Argos. The theater is one of the largest architectural developments in Greece and was renovated in ca 120 AD.

The Hellenistic theater at Argos is cut into the hillside of the Larisa, with 90 steps up a steep incline, forming a narrow rectilinear cavea. Among the largest theaters in Greece, it held about 20,000 spectators and is divided by two landings into three horizontal sections. Staircases further divide the cavea into four cunei, corresponding to the tribes of Argos A high wall was erected to prevent unauthorized access into the theatron and may have helped the acoustics, but it is said the sound quality is still very good today.

Around 120 CE, both theaters were renovated in the Roman style.
