About this tour
This session covers the castle's inner courtyards and the Old Royal Palace facade, away from the cathedral's crowds. You see how successive rulers reshaped the same spaces over centuries, then the palace itself and its unusual jousting hall. It is a structural look at how the castle actually grew.
I keep a steady pace between the two stops, since the layout rewards a proper explanation rather than a quick pass. Questions come as we go, and I am happy to explain a detail twice if the connection cuts out. A short note on the palace's opening hours follows by message afterwards.
This suits anyone who has already seen the cathedral and wants the fuller castle picture. It also works well paired with the Golden Lane session nearby.
