Abandoned Castle in France

France is one of the most advanced and modernized countries in the world. Very often it surprises the mankind with new unique and radical inventions and discoveries. Traditional value has become a bit sidelined though not obsolete. But the past always make feel its presence. France is full of many dilapidated old and unused mansions and castles where the past still reverberates in those broken and fragile walls. You just need to give your year to them with full attention and concentration.

The Chateau de Lagarde is a ruined mansion still standing strong since 11^th century and has a bagful history to offer us. Then there is the Fortified Cite of Carcassonne in the city of Carcassonne. A decree was declared way back in 1850 to demolish the building but later an architect saved it from nonexistence and The Administration of the Art undertook the responsibility of its restoration.

The list is endless. Visiting those places gift you an uncanny feeling that you can never explain and forget. Those dark alleyways are carrying the footprints of those men and women whose no signs remain. But their unheard voice can surely be sensed if you are sensible enough. The brooding of a king who had lost all is only witnessed by these kinds of gothic citadels where the gate is still guarded by its faithful spirits.
