Chateau de Blandy les Tours

Located just a few kilometers from its imposing neighbor Vaux-le-Vicomte, Blandy-les-Tours offers a striking contrast. It represents the transition from a medieval fortress to a pleasure residence. Built in the 13th century, this fortified castle was saved from ruin by an exemplary restoration project led by the Departmental Council. With its five imposing towers linked by a curtain wall, its machicolations, and its 35-meter keep, it perfectly embodies the image of a knight's castle as imagined in history books. The visit is particularly dynamic, allowing visitors to walk the entire length of the ramparts, offering a breathtaking view of the inner courtyard and the charming Brie village that surrounds it. Inside the towers, there are exhibitions on daily life in the Middle Ages and on the different phases of construction. The site is renowned for its cultural program: street performances, jousting tournaments, and festive events that bring the medieval spirit to life without resorting to clichés.
