🇫🇷 Stop Going to Versailles! This Fairytale Castle Is the Real Dream ✨

#summervacay 📍Château de Pierrefonds | Pierrefonds, France Who says fairytales only exist at Disneyland? Yesterday, I literally saw a king and queen in real life 👑💃! At this medieval castle that looks even more Disney than Disney, we stumbled upon a live performance by the Paris Symphony Orchestra, girls in ball gowns dancing, and even the King and Queen themselves made an appearance — and no, it wasn’t a play. It was real life! 🧡 Gothic towers, surrounded by forests, and a cloudy day adding the perfect moody filter... it felt like I walked into the world of Beauty and the Beast ✨ As the orchestra echoed through the stone halls and dancers twirled in the grand hall, it really felt like time-travel. I was in awe. The event only happens once a year, and we were so lucky to catch it 🎻👑 🌿 By the way, the little town of Pierrefonds is also super charming — fairytale vibes, a bit vintage, and best of all, barely any tourists. #hiddengemfrance #fairytalecastle #chateaudepierrefonds #francetravel
