Managed to see two of the castles on my wish list this summer -
Haut-Koenigsbourg and
Guedelon. Both were fantastic and essentially modern interpretations but I think I and my family found Guedelon the most inspiring and enjoyable. The fact its a living project with a sense of community and activities I think won it - builders, rope makers etc and plenty of enthusiastic workers ready to explain whats going on.

In addition, we visited the
Ecomusee in Alsace - slightly odd name for a collection of historical building
rescued and rebuilt on the site - a plethora of medical houses in very
bright colours and a tower from Mulhouse city walls.
Enjoy the photos.
