Want to see the castle being built, but don’t want to go to France and deal with those “people”? A lot closer and without the pervasive urine smell, try the Ozark hills of Arkansas.

“In the heart of the United States, between Springfield, Missouri, and Little Rock, Arkansas, a dazzling historic vision is rising in the middle of the Ozark Mountains. The creation is the brainchild of Michel Guyot who launched a similar and very successful project in Burgundy, France, ten years ago.
A team of architectural experts, working together with historians of the Middle Ages and dedicated artisans, is raising a genuine, full-sized, fortified castle, with 45 foot high towers, a drawbridge, and 6 foot wide stone walls surrounding an expansive inner courtyard, using the materials, techniques, and rules of the 13th century.”
This spring my wife and I were riding our VTX 1800 in the Ozarks and this was a stop on our motorcycle trip. If you’re in the Ozarks it’s well worth the trip.If you have a bike and have never rode the Jasper Disaster or the Peel’s ferry run, you’re in for a real treat.
Thanks!
