About Chateau de la Roche Guyon
Add to favoritesNestled against a chalk cliff in one of France's "Most Beautiful Villages," this castle is a unique architectural masterpiece. It connects a medieval keep perched atop the hill to a modern palace of the Enlightenment located below, via an impressive staircase carved directly into the rock. Its history is marked by the La Rochefoucauld family, but also by the German occupation during World War II, when it served as Field Marshal Rommel's headquarters. The tour offers a striking vertical journey, from 20th-century casemates to 18th-century state rooms, culminating in a panoramic view of the Seine's meanders from the top of the tower. The castle's kitchen garden is also a masterpiece of horticultural art.
Tip for an even more exceptional visit.
Bring good walking shoes to climb the 250 steps of the underground staircase leading to the dungeon; the effort is richly rewarded by the breathtaking view of the river.
