Richelieu - the Ideal City




Cardinal Richelieu
The notorious cardinal wasn’t as evil as he was presented in the Three Musketeers.  He founded the “ideal city” that bears his name to this day, in his fiefdom in the Loire Valley. His magnificent chateau however has long gone. The bi-annual festival “Cape et épée” (Cape and sword), held there, takes us back to the time of the musketeers.

About Me

My photo
Bistra Johnson
Paris, France
Passionate about travel and history, a life of constant change has given me a chance to indulge both. To this day I am still surprised that I have not grown tired of it. I can still marvel at the wonderful world around us and only regret there is not enough time to see everything. It is precisely the wonder of the things I have discovered so far that I wish to share with my readers.
