5 châteaux listed · verified entries first, then the most visited; alphabetical index at the bottom of the page

Of the 31 castles we list in Paris, these 5 have a building campaign from this period, according to the French Ministry of Culture's records.

We record 5 castles, manor houses and strongholds from the Middle Ages, spread across 5 towns and villages. The ones with the most visitor reviews are Louvre Palace (open to visitors), Ancien hôtel de Cluny et Palais des Thermes, actuellement Musée National du Moyen Âge (a listed historic monument), Palais du Luxembourg, actuellement Sénat (wheelchair accessible) and Palais de l'Alma (50 reviews).

3 of them receive visitors, according to their official website or their business listing. We have checked the opening hours of 3 and the prices of 2 of them, and each entry shows the date of that check. 5 of them are listed historic monuments, the highest level of protection in French heritage law. The dominant period is the Middle Ages, with 5 buildings. Each entry says what we could verify and what still needs confirming: enough to plan a day that holds together.
