To visit the castle of La Roche-Guyon, in the Val d'Oise, in the heart of the French Vexin Regional Natural Park, is to immerse oneself in 1000 years of civilization in one of the best preserved sites of the Ile de France. Shaped by history, from the Middle Ages to nowadays, this strange and mysterious castle marks the spirits... Leaning against the cliff that gave birth to it, dominating a loop of the Seine, it has developed over the centuries, elegantly intertwining architectural styles. Its fortified keep, curiously placed on the hill, dominates the Seine valley since the 12th century. It is connected to the lower fortress by an underground staircase.
The whole is harmoniously embedded in a green setting. Its monumental stables designed to accommodate 99 horses will charm you and its experimental vegetable and fruit garden from the Age of Enlightenment will astonish you by its structure and by the project of which it is the objective.
