Castles

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.
