Fère-en-Tardenois Castle
The architecture of the access bridge is similar to that in Chenonceau Castle . The foundations date from the 13th century. The lower floor served as a passage, the upper floor was reserved for social life. The donjon is an irregular heptagon flanked by seven round towers that the Duke of Orléans had demolished in 1779. The surrounding hunting area is 250 hectares. Today there is a luxury hotel within the ruins of the castle.
