Guédelon Reviews

We learn a lot there, it is valid for children and adults. In the 21st century no such durable building is constructed. To discover at all costs

Wonderful place. Heritage in its pure state. Perfect to go back in time. Beautiful castle under construction. Historic building techniques preserved.

A titanic job. People are listening. Welcome to the middle ages :)
The mill was open and listening to each professional body talk and explain their know-how is really interesting. One afternoon is more than enough to take a tour of the place

Beautiful castle, good guides and craftsmen very nice visit

We had a very good day with our children aged 3 to 8 years old. Do not hesitate to ask questions to the construction workers who will gladly share their know-how.

I liked it a lot and I advise you BUT plan a picnic to avoid losing two hours to eat because they have a restaurant for all visitors. That's otherwise except that I recommend it for big and small

Superb site, fabulous craftsmen and a formidable work of reconstruction. Do not miss !

It's nice but a pity that we cannot participate in the work of the castle by going through all the stages, even for the creations of baskets, tiles, pots even if it means paying a little for your profits that its facilitates you for the purchase of various needs whatever it is. Big negative point on the food price have to pay 3 sandwiches 24 euros without drinks without anything else. Very good continuation to you, its remains a beautiful work and especially to appreciate the evolution over time.

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. ..

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

You have to go back every two or three years. This allows to see the evolution of the site.

Unique building, how this castle is rebuilt with the technology of the time.
You must have seen this.

I loved this ride but a little expensive for what it is

A must see !
Allow time to see everything!

Interesting, one hour guided tour, very detailed but on few points, too bad.

Unbelievable ! A fortified castle as in the history books but there it is a return to the living and very real past! What patience of all these crafts to make us live the Middle Ages.

Entrance too expensive especially for children of 5 years because few demonstrations likely to be understood and in any case a lot of folklore. !

A magnificent experience which lasts since 1997 the construction of a fortified castle with the construction methods of the Middle Ages
INCREDIBLE to see at all costs AWESOME we travel 1000 years back ...

Exceptional and beautiful site, restaurants with a lot of homemade. Only downside the price of memories.

Like Hermione - better and bigger. Let your children discover the birth of a castle. In 10 years he will not be crossing the Atlantic, he and he will remain palpable in ... And it could be better in attraction! We need partnerships with medieval circus troupes. It is inescapable because it is the passion, the will, the strength of a group of men and women who reconstruct the best of the Middle Ages.

Often seen the reports on TV .... I took advantage of the holidays to travel from the southwest. I recommend without hesitation.

Places to visit with family, very informative, a lot of work done, all the trades are represented and we see the workers doing the work in front of us, to see without moderation

We must hurry to come. It's almost finished ! You really have to do the guided tour to understand better.

With 10 years of hindsight, we have been able to appreciate the change in the evolution of the castle. On the other hand, there was a lack of people to remind visitors of the barrier gestures and the direction of movement within the ramparts.

Great to discover the techniques of the Middle Ages with my class of 5th 4 and 5th 3

An extraordinary clean extremely well stocked place a treat

Wonderful day with the family, thank you to the staff who welcome us and to the workers who are very professional and answer our questions with kindness.The children and parents have taken their eyes off to redo in a few years to see the evolution

Construction site of a medieval castle made today with ancestral methods. You can see the workers on site working and explaining their tasks and their methods. They are very involved people, and eager to communicate their passion. Do not miss the mill!

To see absolutely We see the time differently It's superb and good activities to do The guides are really very friendly and we learn things I really loved

Passionate craftsmen, discovery of the techniques of yesteryear, explanations of the methods, a cultural and intelligent exit.

Superb medieval site! The artisans are very friendly and interesting, their explanations are enriching and often punctuated with touches of humor.

Beautiful walk and beautiful castle under construction .. lack of life and too few people who built the castle .. pity but otherwise to see once ..

Wonderful project, lively place and very informative, flat all is overpriced in the shop

Go for it. It is beautiful, informative, breathtaking, passionate and thrilling

Visit with 3 of our grandchildren aged 8 to 12 years old.

Warm and attentive welcome, impressive achievements, well explained by the various people responsible for introducing visitors to the magic of the place!
Very good history lesson for our grandchildren!
I highly recommend the visit!
Plan a day!

Superb place. The availability of the workers is appreciable .. picnic area well shaded. Small flat the price of consomation difficult for a family of 7 people to pay a raffraichissement.

Very nice project to follow very closely.

Impressive and very interesting. Lovely staff and artisans.

An incredible project, visited quickly as long as it is not finished

Super! Certainly worth a look, especially if you are interested in medieval building style and technique.

The idea of departure is brilliant, to see the construction stone after stone of a medieval castle. Next to it there are many workshops which decorate the visit, a mill also a few hundred meters away, a place to see but which is deserved because the path is muddy almost inaccessible on a rainy day.
Certainly I expected more, to be literally diving into the Middle Ages. But with the many visitors, the absence of certain things nearby (food or medieval market for example, a tavern ...), I had a hard time feeling the atmosphere.
Despite this, to do with or without your children.

Congratulations for this unique project and the work of all the enthusiasts who lead this project masterfully.

Interesting and fun ... it is an exciting place animated by workers and guides who share their love for the place and their work. We enter here in a castle and its environment under construction but also in history and in the heart of an adventure. Favorite for the alchemist show

Good animation, very friendly except the saleswoman at the bar, she is not polite with customers

Very nice quote, a magical return in time for both adults and children ... we will be back soon to see the evolution ... thank you all

Friendly place to visit but sad home we really feel like bothering all the people who work that we ask a question we are limited sent on roses some are even rude

Superb, very good work everyone is listening to our questions we have answers with a lot of kindness bravo

Very disappointed not come for 7 years.
The monks are more dressed as before.
They hire women.
Frankly very disappointed.
And guided tours.
Its nothing to see.
No facilities for the disabled in the park.
There is a lot of work to be done.

Very interesting visit. Congratulations to the people who work there as in the old days. A titanic job !!

One "flat" ..... the dry toilets !!!

It is too well done the guided tours are great too the guides and in addition the fact of being able to discuss with all trades c is very interesting

Rather nice .. a bit expensive either at the restaurant or the souvenir shop ..
Small regret that some workers are not pleasant or even smiling.

The baker was fantastic! And even in a little rain it was very nice ...!

a very good day to program with family .... really great ..the children loved ..to see 1 time every 2 years to see the evolution

Difficult to find since southern Burgundy and the radar cost me a point (thank you the government). But it was worth it.

Amazing site where we return to the age of the middle ages. 100% authentic animated by enthusiasts. To discover absolutely.

Beautiful report on ARTE that makes you want to visit very quickly (probably this summer)

Amazing place, guided tour recommended to understand the pedagogy of the place, the workers historians c is exceptional.

Magic, exciting and educational, a crazy and educational project. I too will work well!

Superb castle that we can see every year without getting tired because it evolves with each season. Very informative for young and old alike.
The people who work there listen to our questions and explain their work very well.
