This house is mythically thought to have been the home of Queen Berengaria, the wife of Richard the Lion heart of England, who died in Le Mans in the 1200s. In reality, this is impossible, because the building was obviously built in the 15th Century, several hundred years after the queen died. That aside, it is still one of the most spectacular pieces of architecture in the country, and if the queen had lived here, she certainly wouldn’t have felt out of place.
