Heritage and walks: “Secrets of castles”, the special issue of Le Parisien which takes you on a trip close to home

Two magic syllables that rhyme with “cake”, and it's not so trivial because they are delicious in their own way. Yes, the word “castle” is beautiful, it opens the doors of the imagination instantly, brings back childhood, wide open spaces, tales and history books. After launching the special edition collection “Heritage & walks” in 2019 with a special issue on this theme, “Le Parisien” is publishing a new issue dedicated to castles.

In this thick magazine on sale on newsstands from this Wednesday, our reporters reveal to you the big and small secrets of around twenty buildings by definition rich in history(s). And always near you, in the region or its immediate surroundings.

On the program: a dive into royal residences located in the heart of the city in Dourdan (Essonne), Nemours (Seine-et-) or even Saint-Germain-en-Laye (). But also artistic highlights such as the château of Alexandre Dumas in Yvelines, that of the greatest rockers at La Frette-sur-Seine in Val-d'Oise and other exciting little-known sites in Médan (Yvelines). ), Villers-Cotterêts (Aisne) or Ormesson (Val-de-Marne).

An avalanche of good deals and good addresses

Also on the menu of festivities: a selection of the best nights to spend in a castle in the region or an unusual escape game to try in… dungeons, in the heart of the Chevreuse valley, in Saint-Rémy. All enhanced with side steps and interviews, including that of Stéphane Bern.
