Cha\u0302teau de Chambord<\/h2>\n

What is it about girls and princesses? I swear it is imprinted into our brains during childhood to love the idea of being a princess in a castle. That, Disney’s pretty fantastic marketing team, plus great kids movies. My favorite princesses growing up were Ariel and Belle. So, you can imagine my excitement when I found out we would be going to the ch\u00e2teau that inspired Beast\u2019s castle.<\/p>\n

Now the inside is nothing special but the outside is absolutely stunning. And once you climb up a few steps the views from the balcony overlooking the courtyard is truly something to behold.<\/p>\n

Apparently the chateau was the home of the mistress to the king. Now that was one lucky woman.<\/p>\n

Bordeaux<\/h2>\n

That evening we had an overnight stop in the town of Bordeaux, where I got to try some delicious French wine, famous from this region. In Bordeaux you can instantly notice the wonderful buildings, which were the architectural inspiration for Paris building styles.<\/p>\n

Medieval Carcassonne<\/h2>\n

Yes, this video has not one but two very different castles. Medieval Carcassonne in the south of France is really something out of King Arthur\u2019s legends. Now I don\u2019t believe there is a Disney movie based on this fortress but inside there sure is a lot of love for everything medieval. Renaissance Fair anyone? Yes I have been to one of those and they are a ridiculous amount of fun.<\/p>\n
