Planning a weekend with your family? There are many places of interest for your family trips in Oise area, in the Picardie region. Places for learning and having fun together with unusual visits and discoveries. So, let’s go to the town of Pierrefonds, at the south-eastern edge of the forest of Compiègne, for a journey at the heart of the Middle Ages.
First a pedalo excursion on the lake and then a tourist train ride towards the fabulous medieval castle of Pierrefonds, which more than one child has always dreamt of. Indeed, there is no need for much imagination to believe being back to the time of valiant knights eager to liberate their princess imprisoned at the top of the crenellated tower.
Besides, do not miss a visit into the cellars of the castle to enjoy the “Bal des gisants”. A journey into the strange and mysterious atmosphere of the castle cellars where moving lights, whispered poems, sound effects and audiovisual methods will help give life to a hundred of people who died here.
