A sweaty climb (bicycle), but the view and the sight of the castle are impressive. It was not possible to visit the castle.

Very nice property, but no entry possible as it is private.

You can also find such a private castle while collecting mushrooms. There have been nicer days, but an attractive location.

Very impressive building in great condition (as far as an assessment is possible). I think it's great that this castle has survived the centuries to tell of its eventful and incredible history. I recommend the Wikipedia article on the castle to everyone.

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.
