A Halloween Adventure at Château de Sedan
Halloween is always a magical time, and what better way to celebrate this exciting holiday than in a historic setting? From Château Guillermo, just a short drive away, we set off with the whole family to the impressive ‘Château Fort de Sedan’ for an unforgettable Halloween experience.
The Largest Fortress in Europe
Château Fort de Sedan, located in the Ardennes, is the largest medieval fortress in Europe. As soon as you pass through its gates, you can feel the rich history of the place. But during Halloween, this historical site transforms into a mysterious and sometimes even spooky destination. Illuminated pumpkins, dancing shadows, and an air of adventure filled the atmosphere. The stone walls seemed to whisper stories of ancient secrets and legends.
Fun for All Ages
The event was perfect for families. For the children, there were treasure hunts, where they wandered through the castle to find clues and complete secret tasks. Our three little ones were completely in their element. Dressed as little ghosts, they went exploring.
The candlelit corridors and secret passageways made for an intense experience. Those brave enough could even visit the dungeons – an experience sure to give you goosebumps.
Back to the Tranquility of Château Guillermo
After a day full of adventure and thrills, it was wonderful to return to the peace and warmth of Château Guillermo. The fireplace in the salon crackled softly, and the children, tired but content, crawled into bed while we reminisced about the day with a glass of wine by the fire.
Halloween at Sedan Castle is highly recommended for anyone who loves history, adventure, and a touch of mystery. It’s a wonderful addition to a stay at Château Guillermo and lets you experience the magic of the region in a unique way.
