  Is a perfect renovated Chateau from the deepest Middle-Ages of Charles V and later used as a prison during the Ancient Regime. I truly recommend visiting this place if you stay in Paris. Also it is the same building style of the renowned Bastille and as such often used for movie making. The Chateau itself is quite large and offers visits to the Tower and Chappelle. Both are a sight and should be seen.
