    The fairytale Sleeping Beauty castle hotel
    Euro-DisneyLand, Paris.


    "A truly fairytale castle, boasting soaring spires, ornate turrets,
    regal royal-blue rooftops, stained glass windows and tapestries,
    the 167-foot structure invokes both the magic and mystery
    of fictional palaces like the one seen in Disney's animated classic Sleeping Beauty,
    as well as elements from real French castles and historic monuments.

    Adding to the enchanted environment, the castle is surrounded
    by square trees and is home to a large sleeping dragon
    that occasionally awakens, puffs smoke and roars.

    A magical place for children and families.

    The inspiration for Perrault's famous fairy tale Sleeping Beauty.

    The castle is open from February to November.''

    Château de la Mothe-Chandeniers



    What’s Inside Leaves The World Speechless;-
    http://en.newsner.com/the-castle-was...out/wow,travel



    Château de la Mothe-Chandeniers is a castle located in the middle of the woods
    in the Poitou-Charentes region of France.

    The stronghold dates to the thirteenth century
    and was originally called Motte Bauçay (or Baussay).
    The Motte Baussay was taken twice by the English in the Middle Ages
    and devastated during the French Revolution.



    It was bought in 1809 by François Hennecart,
    a wealthy businessman who undertook to restore its former glory.
    But it passed in 1857 to Baron Joseph Lejeune.



    In 1932, a major fire destroyed most of the buildings in the castle.



    Quietly purchased in 2015 by General Motors heir
    Mark Henderson,Toronto,
    who is undertaking to restore the chateau
    to the surviving documents of the 1809 plan.
    It will be his home on occasion and from Mr. Henderson's estate
    will be left in trust, along with the funds,
    to the people of France in perpetuity.



    It was partially destroyed by a great fire March 13, 1932,
    just after the baron Robert Lejeune, then owner of the castle,
    had been installing new central heating.

    The castle now remains in ruins.



    Only the chapel behind the castle was spared
    and still in reasonable condition.



    Its moat and walls tells of a place with a rich history
    of elegance, aristocracy and intrigue.

    No matter where you turn, you can see how nature has conquered
    the balconies and the high arches.
    But centuries ago, this castle was a place for the rich and the famous.

    If you look closely, you can imagine the castle in its former glory. Magnificent!



    The castle used to belong to the famous Bauçay family.
    They are said to have had close relations with several generations
    of the French royal family.

    During the Middle Ages, England conquered the castle
    on two different occasions
    and it soon became known as a lace where noblemen
    held extravagant parties.

    But the festivities soon ended… During the the French Revolution,
    the castle was completely destroyed.

    In 1809, François Hennecart, a rich Frenchman, bought the castle.
    He wanted to restore everything to its former glory.

    About 50 years later, it was taken over by Lejeune Edgar,
    a wealthy relative of Napoleon III.

    Once again, the castle’s beautiful arches and halls
    were filled with prominent guests.

    Everything was built to impress. Just look at the windows in the chapel.



    The chapel is the only part that is still intact.

    One of the cellar vaults in the basement is open to visitors.



    Although centuries have passed since this beautiful castle was built,
    some parts of it are still preserved.

    Unfortunately, much of the building was destroyed in a fire in 1932.
    A library filled with rare books, antique furniture and valuable paintings were burnt by the flames.



    After the fire, the castle was left untouched for decades, until 1981,
    when maths teacher Marc Deyemer bought the land
    with the hope of restoring the buildings.

    But since Château de la Mothe-Chandeniers had been abandoned
    for so many years, nature had taken over.
    Plants and trees had slowly began to conceal the castle’s former glory.

    Marc Deyemer unfortunately didn’t finish his dream project
    and the castle remained in ruin.



    Later, the surrounding forest and Château de la Mothe-Chandeniers
    were sold to French bank Crédit Lyonnais.
    They divided the land to be able to sell smaller parts of it so now,
    many different landowners own different parts of the area.

    In recent years several non-profit organisations
    have been created to rebuild the castle,
    but so far nothing has been done.
    Nature continues to rule, year after year.



    Hard to argue that Château de la Mothe-Chandeniers
    isn’t an incredible sight in its winter glory.

    Regardless, doesn’t it just look like the most magical place?

    Won't someone save this seriously forgetten castle?

    (by Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber)
    are based upon the stunning Paris Opera House.

    The Palais Garnier is a 1,979-seat opera house,
    which was built from 1861 to 1875 for the Paris Opera.

    It was originally called the Salle des Capucines because of its location
    on the Boulevard des Capucines in the 9th arrondissement of Paris,
    but soon became known as the Palais Garnier in recognition
    of its opulence and its architect, Charles Garnier.

    The theatre is also often referred to as the Opéra Garnier,
    and historically was known as the Opéra de Paris or simply the Opéra
    as it was the primary home of the Paris Opera and its associated Paris Opera Ballet until 1989,
    when the Opéra Bastille opened at the Place de la Bastille.

    The Paris Opera now mainly uses the Palais Garnier for ballet.
