Carrouges
France, France
Carrouges is a charming commune in Normandy's Orne department, France, centered around its iconic 14th-century Château de Carrouges, a moated fortress rebuilt after the Hundred Years' War that blends medieval defenses with Renaissance elegance under families like the Blossets and Le Veneurs.
The castle, featuring a gatehouse, grand apartments, and interiors from Louis XIII to 18th-century styles, hosted figures like King Louis XI and served as a hunting lodge, now managed as a public monument with guided tours amid landscaped gardens and orchards.
The village itself evokes rural Norman heritage with stone houses, a historic church, and surrounding bocage countryside ideal for walks in the Normandy-Maine Regional Nature Park.
