Cour du Château, Medieval courtyard in Menthon-Saint-Bernard, France.

The stone courtyard extends across a large area at the base of the castle, featuring high walls and traditional architectural elements from medieval France.

The courtyard, dating back over 1000 years, served as a gathering place for nobility and hosted numerous royal ceremonies throughout the Middle Ages.

The annual Medieval Festival in April transforms the courtyard into a celebration with equestrian shows, falconry demonstrations, and traditional craft markets.

Visitors can access the courtyard daily from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM, with guided tours available to explore the historical features and architecture.

From the courtyard, guests can observe the castle that influenced Walt Disney's design for Sleeping Beauty's castle in his theme parks.
