When in France with the kids we love exploring the châteaux, and the Château de Murol didn’t let us down. My two boys loved exploring the castle - climbing to the top with a bit of coaxing, rewarded by a great view. They also enjoyed sitting on a throne, and spotting the armour and weaponry. Apart from a leaflet in English, which was pretty useful, the rest of the interpretation was in French including costumed guides, projected animations and a jousting show. However the language barrier didn’t seem to bother my children, and they laughed along with the jokes made by the jesters and jousters.

We might well be checking out another chateau before the end of our holiday!
