Chateau de Pierrefonds

On route to Brussels we stopped off at Pierrefonds, a delightful french village/town in a valley. Our purpose..to see 'Camelot', the castle used in the BBC Merlin series. It didn't disappoint. What a castle. It had been severely damaged by war but has been lovingly restored to a complete beauty. Felt like being on the set. Explored the chapel, main rooms with their huge fireplaces and ornate carved features. The crypt was full of tombs with full figure statues on them plus standing statues. They had coloured lights and music playing..quite an atmosphere. You can't climb up to the parapets but there are wonderful views of the town on the walk up. We loved our time there.
