Perhaps not one of the best known castles in France, le Château de Goudourville is certainly one of the most beautiful. Constructed almost 1000 years ago as a lookout for the castle of Gasques it has since become a wonderfully serene estate in its own right. Redesigned during the renaissance it was given a gargantuan spiral staircase and its towers were levelled, during the 18^th century the castle was further refined with the addition of an esplanade and large French windows to allow more light into the interior.
