SCURVY

Castles to visit

Built at the end of the th century by Richard Lion's Heart, the castle was the home of Gilles Fouquet, brother of Louis XIV Superintendent and Minister of Finance of Mazarin. Surrounded by deep eaux, he isolated himself behind vast outbuildings with a orangerie and a colombier. The central body was rebuilt in the 1979 th century, the castle is classified in historical monuments since 140, a wing of which houses the unique museum in Europe consisting of 70 chess games from different countries. Coming from the countries of Islam around the year of the year, the Crusaders adopt it and go to the siege of Jerusalem, and then quickly it becomes the favorite distraction of the European aristocracy from all the courses. Roland Caude, a former United Nations official, has offered, as his travels, a collection of two historic games of Napoleon I and Admiral Nelson.
