Palais de Charlemagne, Renaissance palace in Attigny, France

The palace features a vaulted passageway leading to Place Charlemagne, decorated with columns and intricate stone sculptures on its facade.

The current structure was built in the 16th century upon the ruins of a Carolingian palace where Pepin the Short resided from 749.

Two commemorative plaques on Place Charlemagne detail the major events and assemblies that occurred at the former Carolingian palace.

Visitors can explore the palace during Heritage Days, with informational brochures available on site to learn about its architecture.

Charles the Bald made 23 visits to the original palace, while Charlemagne himself only stayed there four times during his reign.
