Château de Fénelon, Dramatic Fortress in Dordogne, France

Château de Fénelon occupies a rocky promontory, surrounded by a triple wall and terraces, above the village of Saint Mondane, southeast of Sarlat.
The castle dates from the 13th century, but most of what remains was rebuilt in the 16th century.
The castle was a Cathare stronghold during the 12 and 13th centuries and it went on to play a strategic role during the Hundred Years War.
The current owners have carefully maintained the chateau, and furnished several of the rooms with authentic, characteristic items. Visitors are graciously invited.

Beau à l'intérieur je trouve surtout entre 2.17 et 2.28 avec les murs de pierre.
Merci pour cette visite

Merci pour votre commentaire. Je ne suis pas sûr de bien comprendre, mais je suis sûr que nous apprécions tous les deux cette magnifique architecture.
Merci, Ken

[@eniretak33pal52]

Merci Ken pour cette belle vidéo. Je voulais dire que les murs de pierre, c'est souvent froid. Mais là les décorateurs ont réussi à faire quelque chose de chaud et très convivial. En fait les murs des châteaux forts dont les pièces nous paraissent froides devaient être partout recouvertes de tapisseries et ceux qui y vivaient devaient s'y sentir bien
Merci encore
