Guédelon Reviews

What work and energy artisans for this book to see because it's worth a hat low

great place, hats off to the activator, but also ends here a great idea in the commercial

Very nice builders, who explain their job well, a wonderful guide, perfect for children and adults!

Hello,
With my wife, we had a wonderful day at the castle, this Thursday 24/10/2019, until 17:30 (arrival around 10:30)
Thanks also to the guide (Dutch mason with a lot of humor). This tour is really a great bonus. Discovery of the mill, top !!
However, you can not fail to report your total disorganization of your two restore points. And yet, it is delicious, and the girl, ONLY present (!!) (to "Minstembec") totally involved and remaining zen (irreproachable attitude).
A queue of at least 100 people for nearly two hours ... INADMISSIBLE !! and it was the same situation (with two / three staff present) at "Bread on the board" (hot dishes).
Are your managers aware of this catastrophic management ?? !!
Really a point to improve for a site so great to visit.
In advance thank you, good luck.

Always so interesting and exciting. To see from time to time

Great place. Such a wonderful idea. Great for all ages

very interesting site. Seen several years apart which allowed us to see the progress of construction. Impressive.

Rather disappointed with this visit. Of course the idea is superb, the reception very good. However, I find the price really exaggerated compared to the visit. 14 full price (for comparison Versailles Palace + Garden is 20). For this price, only the visit is included. Workshops, guided tours, everything requires paying extra. In addition, once inside, there is very little information and explanations displayed, or visible, very annoying for a site with a primarily educational vocation.

In short, we feel that there are very good intentions, the organization is good but the content is really not up to the price.

Medieval project to admire with educational value. Great terrain. Worth seeing. Also good with children

Innovative project, implication of all, to encourage by your regular visits ...

Very interesting, guide giving all information ..
A small flat for the restoration
Very long waiting time
Plan a Picnic

Don't miss this. Castle and medieval village, built from scratch.

Magnificent work of the builders, shaded site and two places to eat, to visit for lovers of old stones and history.

Immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the builders of 13th century castles

Brilliant for history lovers. Friendly staff and lovely environment.

Awesome
Beautiful area
Passionate people
Great place
Very informative

An extraordinary clean extremely well stocked place a treat

Mixed view: guided tour where you can not hear the guide, the workers who do not answer questions, ... On the other hand, the camp of the small knights was very appreciated by our 2 knights and the chief of the knights put all the world in the mood.

Nice day with friends for a return in time with speakers who like to transmit their know-how. .... only happiness. .....

An exceptional experience. But weird in that I found myself being as careful of the structure, which is still being built, as I would of a real 13th castle. It kinda messes with your head a bit. Come well shod because it's a building site. Excellent food facilities inside.

Anyone who has always wanted to know how the ancients were able to build a proud castle complex with few resources: here it can be experienced and grasped. Great archelogy experiment !!! And respect for the many hard-working helpers who contribute every day. A completely different kind of adventure park for children too.

Fascinating. Workers willingly share their expertise

This place is M E R A V I G L I O S O! ! !
A construction site for building a medieval castle. With medieval techniques!
It is possible to visit the building site, the shops of the various artisans (stonemasons, rope-makers, dyers, carpenters) and the rooms of the castle. Furthermore you can visit the sites where the materials are found (wood, stone) or animals are bred. The workers live there and 2020 is expected to be completed.
It is a fantastic experience, a place out of time, wonderful. Every step is a surprise, I was astonished from beginning to end.

Magnificent achievement and superb educational project !!! My 2 1/2 year old daughter struggled to finish the visit (we didn't take a stroller to be able to visit every nook and cranny) to do and redo to see the progress of the work.

Thank you for this unavoidable place of knowledge forgotten! To discover in family.

Great, to visit and revisit so that the passion continues

Incredible site to visit and also very pleasant to spend a day in nature with nice workers who explain their job well. Don't forget the Alchemist Show!

I love spending the day in Guedelon. I go every 2 years to see the evolution. We attended the stonemason workshop. Great for big and small. We can come with the picnic or eat at the restaurant. No water to fill the bottles. I highly recommend this outing.

Superb place. Very friendly people and very interesting workshop.
Seeing the evolution is spectacular.
I recommend.

To have. Astonishing, interesting, and very impressive!

Very interesting site, the people there are all nice. Have a good last day for the team and a happy retirement for Antoine.

Beautiful experience that changes the usual castles (finished building). Entrance to 14 + 3 for the visit. In addition to the castle there is a presentation of the different crafts useful to the creation of the castle.

Beautiful place very rewarding for young and old! Bravo!

Building a medieval castle from scratch. A living history project. Very interesting.

Nice site to visit with the family! Full of discoveries, very fun. Small farm around the castle, very popular with children. Catering possible on site.

Discoveries and stands for children very interesting. The restoration side is to improve.

Very nice site, the show of the alchemist is super nice.

Great place, a good Sunday to spend there the children were delighted and the parents also continue like this.

Very informative, congratulations to all those workers who give their knowledge and their time, especially all volunteers (students, employees,) who do not hesitate to come a week to work (breaking stones, learn carpentry ....)
Only small criticism ... On the plan, there are numbers, why not put them on each small house with different trades?

You have to see it to believe it, what a job accomplished with the means of the time. To visit for adults and children.

construction of a fortified castle with the techniques of the Middle Ages all the materials are extracted on site very interesting for all ages

Someone who is interested in castles should definitely look at a castle under construction with the means as there were on average old tools to build etc. I would probably go there again after a few years LG.

It is always a pleasure to see the evolution of this fantastic project. New, very nice little alchemy show. To do, and to redo year after year.

Nice site, but parking when it rains = slush, too bad.

To watch again and again . colossal work. A lot of credit for all the participants in this adventure. we must support them!

Fascinating when you have known the beginnings of this castle: the craftsmen are there to explain their trade to you. Lunch on site or picnic to bring everything is provided for a good day with the family

It's a place that makes a nice comeback to the way of working of other times.

correct home, explanation of the city is good, the guide is useful

Discovery of a fortified castle under construction with fun workshops for all stages of construction. Some animals (sheep, horses, donkeys), shows and entertainment. Outings enjoyed by the whole family!

Very interesting archaeological construction site.
Personally I went there twice in 5 years which seems to me to be the right frequency to be able to appreciate the advances in construction.
I would go back before completion

Impressive construction site as it was in the 13th century.
But not only the construction site, also the craftsmen and their guilds are astonishing. This is my second time here. Simply fantastic what they have created here.

An ideal excursion destination, especially for families with children and school classes. However, you should bring some time with you and definitely take the footpath to the old water mill.

I liked the site and the walk in the forest to the mills where there was a passionate and fascinating animator. We had a good time, in the cool.
All that was missing were the troubadours.
Not a very large choice of menus to eat but very good and at an affordable price. I advise!

Although the work site is real, such an adventure deserves to be more commented on by the workers in the village like the miller who was full of explanations.

Such an interesting idea. Trying to build a stronghold in the twenty first century with the technique of the thirteenth seems to be a challenge, but so far they are making it.
You will learn a lot about castle but also plenty of other things. Go there with family, friends or children, if you are a little bit curious it will be worse the ride.

Impressive!
Very pleasant teams, open to all questions.
For all ages.

I still love it so much. 5th visit since the start of the adventure.

Visit the last weekend of the holidays of Toussaint for the closing. My advice: really favor periods with the least amount of traffic, days of dry weather and good walking shoes. To avoid for people with reduced mobility and for children too young. The site is "victim" of its success. To have come twice before 2003, I found that there were still many visitors for a period dente hollow. I was disappointed with the size of the visiting groups. This limits the proximity of the beginnings with the guide. Nevertheless, I recommend the guided tour, it is a real plus for the understanding of the site.
Finally, congratulations to all those volunteers without whom this remarkable project would not be!

Totally ingenious, a construction site that will finish on time mega interesting and above all, there is no noise. The outbuildings with their trade are also consistently great.

It is a timeless place, an exciting site but above all passionate workers who know how to transmit the love of their jobs.

Long live unprofitable, slow and inefficient jobs! It's the future but he's passionate too!

Interesting of course but lacks the spirit already seen years ago

Magnificent. Come at the start of the season to have fewer people and so that the workers are more available. 400 times the same questions for 8 months I understand. ..

Still many people in this Thursday, but still interesting all generations.

Subjugated by this realization and return to the sources of the Middle Ages.
