We Found a Secret Fortress Below the Castle! - Inside Château de Brézé

Описание: We explore one of France's most mysterious castles. Château de Brézé isn't just a castle – it's a medieval survival masterpiece hiding 3 kilometers of mysterious underground tunnels, rooms, and an entire troglodyte city carved into limestone. While most châteaux had cellars, Brézé went full underground with bakeries, stables, silk farms, and escape routes dating back to the 11th century.

What makes this castle unique:

3km of underground castle passages and rooms
Complete medieval city carved into limestone
Underground castle bakery, wine press, and livestock areas
Never successfully captured due to castle tunnel deterrent
Dreux-Brézé family legacy spanning centuries

This episode takes you above and below ground at one of the Loire Valley's most fascinating châteaux. From Renaissance salons to medieval survival tunnels, discover why they built "a castle underneath a castle."

Escape to rural France with us every week! We're Monte and Sixteen, living the château dream in France's Loire Valley, exploring magnificent castles, sharing French countryside living, and documenting our journey toward finding our own château to restore.
