The fantastic tales attached to it, legends and true stories, took us on a real journey back in time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Its remarkable architectural structure:<\/strong> the castle is built on marshland. Built between the 14th and 16th centuries, it&#8217;s a solid, imposing residence of granite, brick and slate, surrounded by a moat.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>An enchanting natural setting:<\/strong> the enclosed park is a vast green expanse of gardens, groves, canals, terraces and lawns.

The ch\u00e2teau was also the first major project of a famous dynasty of architects, the <strong>Gabriels<\/strong>, who <strong>built Versailles and Paris in the 18th<\/strong> century.

First, there&#8217;s <strong>the legend of the Carrouges fairy<\/strong>, with whom the master of the house was in love and who was killed by his wife, bringing a curse on the family.

To save his wife Marguerite&#8217;s honor, he was one of the protagonists of the last judicial duel in French history in 1386. This famous duel is the subject of <strong>Ridley Scott<\/strong>&#8216;s film <strong> <em>The Last Duel<\/em><\/strong>. Matt Damon plays Jean de Carrouges on screen.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Travel\/Normandie\/R2b-Chateau-Carrouges\/i-4S4bBqS\/4\/d5cf9e82\/L\/Chateau_Carrouges_Normandie-7605-L.jpg\" alt=\"The ch&#xE2;telet at the entrance to Ch&#xE2;teau de Carrouges in Normandy\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our favorite moments<\/h3>\n\n<p>During our visit, the stormy Normandy skies plunged the ch\u00e2teau into a cinematic atmosphere that amused us greatly.<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>We loved <strong>the ch\u00e2telet<\/strong>, located at the main entrance to the estate. This is your first view of the castle, and you can see it from a great distance: from the center of the village, over 1 km away. It sets the tone with its red and black brickwork and Renaissance elegance. A real gem!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The<\/strong> square-plan, <strong>central open staircase<\/strong> is monumental. Designed by architect Fran\u00e7ois Gabriel, we were very impressed. It has retained its faux-brick painted rendering. The vaults supporting the steps and the thick railings are supported on each level by a single granite pillar.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The antechamber<\/strong> in the apartments of the Blosset dwelling is splendid, with carved beams and a large fireplace whose hood is painted with a hunting scene. Its secret doors intrigued us.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Travel\/Normandie\/R2b-Chateau-Carrouges\/i-ZjWQSvD\/4\/1e023695\/L\/interieur_Chateau_Carrouges_Normandie-7639-L.jpg\" alt=\"Central daylight staircase at Ch&#xE2;teau de Carrouges in Normandy\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">History in brief<\/h3>\n\n<p>Ch\u00e2teau de Carrouges is a <strong>stronghold of the Hundred Years&#8217; War<\/strong>. It occupies a strategic position on the battle line between the King of France and the King of England. The one we&#8217;re visiting today is not the original ch\u00e2teau. It was located on the hill above the village of Carrouges. Looted and destroyed by the English, it was rebuilt in the marshes below in 1367.<\/p>\n\n<p>It wasn&#8217;t until the 15th century that the ch\u00e2teau became a <strong>seigniorial dwelling<\/strong>, when the property reverted to the <strong>Blosset-de-Saint-Pierre<\/strong> family through marriage. King Louis XI was received here in 1473. We loved the recreation of her bedroom decor.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Travel\/Normandie\/R2b-Chateau-Carrouges\/i-9qQf39h\/4\/Dzp9KjgL2CdDM2NmhxpQW449dVGvkkfjt3kBMSQFN\/L\/interieur_Chateau_Carrouges_Normandie-7633-L.jpg\" alt=\"Woodwork from the bedroom of LouisXI at the Ch&#xE2;teau de Carrouges in Normandy\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Wood panelling in Louis XI&#8217;s bedroom<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p>By marriage again, the Le-Veneur-de-Tilli\u00e8res family took over the estate at the end of the 15th century, turning it into a prestigious residence. Cardinal Jean Le-Veneur was ambassador and chaplain to <strong>Francis I.<\/strong> It was he who had the entrance ch\u00e2telet built, which we liked so much.  <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Catherine de M\u00e9dicis<\/strong> stayed at the ch\u00e2teau in 1570. But it was in the 17th century that the building reached its splendor. The interior decorations were then magnified and the gardens redesigned by the ancestors of the architects of Versailles.<\/p>\n\n<p>The ch\u00e2teau was listed as <strong>a historic monument<\/strong> in 1927 and became state property in 1936.

ch\u00e2telet to original keep<\/h2>\n\n<p>Even before entering the castle, we were impressed by its red brick walls. They are emblematic of its robust yet elegant buildings.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The streamlined silhouette of the ch\u00e2telet  <\/h3>\n\n<p>The ch\u00e2telet, with its slender towers and soaring roofs, looked like something out of a fairy tale. It is the gateway to the Parc du Ch\u00e2teau de Carrouges. It was built between 1505 and 1533. Underneath its Gothic appearance, however, it bears witness to the transition to the <strong>Renaissance<\/strong>. It is considered the first monument of this style in Normandy.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Travel\/Normandie\/R2b-Chateau-Carrouges\/i-PhzdGWN\/3\/f0a598f1\/L\/Chateau_Carrouges_Normandie-4821-L.jpg\" alt=\"the ch&#xE2;telet of Ch&#xE2;teau de Carrouges in Normandy.\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The ch\u00e2telet<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p><strong> Brick<\/strong> was chosen because of the clay soils of the <strong>Carrouges marshes<\/strong> and, in the case of the ch\u00e2telet, because of the revival of this material during the Renaissance. We loved the elegant backdrops it can create. They become increasingly visible as you get closer. They alternate red and black bricks.  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Travel\/Normandie\/R2b-Chateau-Carrouges\/i-SKQJfrR\/4\/8c038165\/L\/Chateau_Carrouges_Normandie-7611-L.jpg\" alt=\"Detail of a ch&#xE2;telet wall at Ch&#xE2;teau de Carrouges in Normandy.\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The keep, core of the castle<\/h3>\n\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve reached the front of the ch\u00e2teau, you can clearly make out the massive silhouette of the keep. Built in the 14th century, this is the original ch\u00e2teau. Its construction was ordered by <strong>Charles V<\/strong> to make Carrouges a stronghold to defend the entrance to Normandy. Its arches and machicolations bear witness to this. We loved imagining Jean de Carrouges and his wife Marguerite. They were living there at the time of the <strong>last legal duel<\/strong> (1386) between Jean and his enemy, Jacques le Gris, accused of raping Marguerite.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Travel\/Normandie\/R2b-Chateau-Carrouges\/i-DwcPBt4\/4\/d7ef2256\/L\/Chateau_Carrouges_Normandie-7620-L.jpg\" alt=\"Facade and keep of Ch&#xE2;teau de Carrouges in Normandy.\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The front of the keep (center)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p>The keep is built on 3 levels. On the first floor, the courtyard leads to the <strong>common room<\/strong>, which served as a kitchen. This is a central room in the life of the chateau. There&#8217;s a well and the <strong>famous Carrouges stone<\/strong>, which really intrigued us. This is a tithe stone (or royalty stone). It gave <em>the Carrouges measure<\/em> for liquids, flour or grain at fairs and markets.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Travel\/Normandie\/R2b-Chateau-Carrouges\/i-kzbBRMn\/4\/08c8a056\/L\/interieur_Chateau_Carrouges_Normandie-7631-L.jpg\" alt=\"Pierre de Carrouges in the common room of the keep at Ch&#xE2;teau de Carrouges in Normandy.\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Carrouges stone and the well in the dungeon&#8217;s common room<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Continuation of the tour: the Blosset medieval wing  <\/h2>\n\n<p>We continued our visit upstairs via the Chartier tower staircase. This leads to the wing of the ch\u00e2teau that houses the Blosset-de-Saint-Pierre medieval dwelling. The layout is still as it was in the 15th century. The decor, on the other hand, was installed in the 17th century.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The opulent bedroom of Louis XI<\/h3>\n\n<p>At the time of the Blosset family, this room was <strong>known as a &#8220;chambre de <em>parement<\/em>&#8220;<\/strong>. This is a more intimate room where VIP guests were welcomed. It was here that <strong>Louis XI<\/strong> spent the night of August 14, 1473, on his way to <a href=\"https:\/\/normandielovers.fr\/en\/visit-abbey-mont-saint-michel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mont-Saint-Michel<\/a>. We loved the room&#8217;s warm, wood-panelled decor, tall fireplace and four-poster bed.  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Travel\/Normandie\/R2b-Chateau-Carrouges\/i-jnW3WMn\/4\/f5d061b2\/L\/interieur_Chateau_Carrouges_Normandie-7634-L.jpg\" alt=\"Louis XI's bedroom Ch&#xE2;teau de Carrouges, Normandy.\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Louis XI&#8217;s bedroom<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The apartments of the medieval dwelling<\/h3>\n\n<p>A small door leads to the <strong>north salon<\/strong> and then to <strong>the antechamber of honor<\/strong>, whose decoration we admired. The hood of its mantelpiece is painted with a magnificent <strong>hawk-hunting scene<\/strong>. It dates back to the 16th century. The carved motifs on the beams are superb. Tapestries, furniture and paintings enrich the d\u00e9cor, taking us back through the ages.  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Travel\/Normandie\/R2b-Chateau-Carrouges\/i-BnLc4DQ\/4\/b5a64b51\/L\/interieur_Chateau_Carrouges_Normandie-7636-L.jpg\" alt=\"The antechamber of honor at Ch&#xE2;teau de Carrouges in Normandy.\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The antechamber of honor<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">End of visit: the classic wings of a prestigious residence<\/h2>\n\n<p>The link between the 15th-century dwelling and the grand apartments is made by a square-plan central open staircase, which we loved. It was reserved for the distribution of private apartments and also allowed servants to pass through.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Large apartments<\/h3>\n\n<p>Once past the central open staircase, you pass through a succession of lounges. They are the work of architect <strong>Fran\u00e7ois Gabriel<\/strong>. First there&#8217;s the dining room, then the <strong>summer lounge<\/strong>, whose intimacy we really appreciated. This is the smallest room on the floor. Its large-scale arabesque wallpaper and hand-printed fabrics are a marvel!<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Travel\/Normandie\/R2b-Chateau-Carrouges\/i-vGJHQX6\/4\/02f14495\/L\/interieur_Chateau_Carrouges_Normandie-7641-L.jpg\" alt=\"the summer salon at the Ch&#xE2;teau de Carrouges in Normandy.\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The summer salon<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p>Next is the <strong>portrait salon<\/strong>, before moving on to the <strong>grand salon<\/strong>. It&#8217;s a bright corner room with light woodwork and 4 high windows overlooking the park. We liked its vast proportions. They were created in the 19th century by combining 2 former salons.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Travel\/Normandie\/R2b-Chateau-Carrouges\/i-sKJWCnF\/4\/770f72a0\/L\/Chateau_Carrouges_Normandie-4817-L.jpg\" alt=\"The grand salon at Ch&#xE2;teau de Carrouges in Normandy.\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The grand salon<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The honours of the village hall<\/h3>\n\n<p>Finally, the <strong>main staircase<\/strong> leads to the reception hall, which also serves the grand salon. Designed by architect Fran\u00e7ois Gabriel, this staircase was originally plastered and painted with faux brick. Yielding to the fashion of the time, its walls were stripped bare when it was restored in the 1960s.  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Travel\/Normandie\/R2b-Chateau-Carrouges\/i-2hdQMmj\/4\/df5ed641\/L\/interieur_Chateau_Carrouges_Normandie-7651-L.jpg\" alt=\"Main staircase at Ch&#xE2;teau de Carrouges in Normandy&#10;\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Great Staircase<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p><strong>The Salle des F\u00eates<\/strong> is the largest room in the ch\u00e2teau, and is the last room on the tour. It&#8217;s a former painting gallery that was later used for theater, music and dance. The musicians were housed in a lofty grandstand. The basket-handle ceiling paneling is a modern design. It dates back to the 80s. During our visit, we saw an exhibition by photographer Sabine Pigalle.

Jean de Carrouges was one of the protagonists in France&#8217;s last judicial duel in 1386. He took on his former friend, Jacques Le Gris, in a single combat, to clear the honor of his wife, Marguerite de Thibouville, who accused Le Gris of raping her.  <\/p>\n\n<p>His story inspired American director Ridley Scott to turn it into a film: <strong><em>The Last Duel<\/em> <\/strong>starring Matt Damon as Jean de Carrouges, Adam Driver as Jacques Le Gris and Jodie Comer as Marguerite de Thibouville.

We strongly recommend a visit to the Ch\u00e2teau de Carrouges. A choice stopover, halfway between Alen\u00e7on and Argentan.
