Langeais Castle


We have seen a few castles. We saw a royal garden with a fountain, flower pots, a great big tree house and an old fashioned water pump. Inside the castle there was a wedding room with a fireplace (almost all the rooms had fireplaces). In the wedding room there was a show about the duchess Anne getting married, she was 14 years old. She was married in secret. In the dining room they had these shelves for the royal tasters, to make sure that the king didn't get killed by poison (or to check if the food was too salty!!!) There were big chandeliers (at the top) not powered by electric power (because there was no electricity in that time). They had fold up furniture. They carried their stuff in chests and moved to other castles (aka holiday homes). The Lord's bedroom had a fireplace. They tied knots on the canopy of their bed if you were invited in, otherwise if there's no knots you're not allowed in. There was also this room where they use to have a dead guy in a box (now they just have a box). And they have a praying place, where they ask God for information and help.
