Our first stop is the iconic Blarney Castle, one of the best-preserved and most renowned tower houses in Ireland. It is most famous for the legendary Blarney Stone, also known as the Stone of Eloquence, located at the top of the tower. According to legend, those who kiss the stone are granted the gift of eloquence. Blarney Gardens are a major highlight, offering over 60 acres of beautifully landscaped parklands. Visitors can enjoy a rich variety of gardens, tree-lined avenues, arboretums, and serene waterways. With more than 10 distinct gardens to explore—each with its seasonal charm—Blarney Castle is not just a historical site, but a haven for nature lovers and garden enthusiasts alike.

Notre prochaine destination est l'impressionnant château de Cahir, l'une des forteresses médiévales les plus grandes et les mieux préservées d'Irlande. Construit au XIIIe siècle, il servit de bastion à l'influente famille Butler pendant des siècles. Niché sur un îlot rocheux sur la rivière Suir, le château possède d'imposants remparts, des tours et un donjon magnifiquement restauré qui offre un aperçu du passé féodal de l'Irlande.

Rock of Cashel. Step back in time at the iconic Rock of Cashel, one of Ireland’s most spectacular and historically significant sites. According to legend, this is where St. Patrick converted King Aenghus of Munster to Christianity in the 5th century. The Rock went on to become the seat of the High Kings of Munster and was later gifted to the Church, giving rise to the magnificent medieval structures that remain today. The site features a 12th-century round tower, Romanesque chapel, Gothic cathedral, and Cormac’s Chapel-one of the finest examples of Hiberno-Romanesque architecture in the country.
