What was that chateau?
In the Versus channel's coverage today of the Tour de France there was a magnificent, huge chateau somewhere toward the finish at Compiègne. Does anyone have an idea what it might have been? Help! I don't have a Michelin guide for that part of France.

SHOOT....I completely forgot to TIVO the Tour...thank you VERY much! Have you checked the Tour's official website? They give you a detailed map of every stage.

Around Compiegne I can only think of Pierrefonds.

That's it, Jody! Many thanks.

The Tour's web site doesn't show sightseeing attractions along the route, unfortunately. I couldn't spot anything in our Michelin atlas, either.

Along the same line, does anyone know the name of the( red brick/stone) castle with the moat seen on Monday's leg of the tour?

Is there a better roadtrip planning/map site than Mapquest?
