Most castles sit on top of hills. This one decided to burrow into one instead. La Roche-Guyon, an hour from Paris, is the only village in Île-de-France to earn “Plus Beaux Villages de France” status. The reason becomes obvious the moment you see this one-of-a-kind French castle: Château de La Roche-Guyon is carved directly into the chalk cliff face above the Seine.
