Most Impressive Castles in France
France is home to some of the most fascinating modern architecture examples. Buildings like Louis Vuitton Foundation, The Louvre Pyramid, and Seine Musicale represent the architectural transition of the country. However, a look at some of the most impressive castles in France might make them look second-class.
Mont Saint-Michel
One night, Bishop Aubert sees Archangel Michael in his dream who tells the Bishop to build an oratory on an island. Although Aubert dismisses the dream initially, he begins to build the oratory sometime later in 708 AD. After the construction, the 92-meter-tall oratory gives the whole island a new name.
