Pierrefonds XD

Okay then, here are my pictures from Pierrefonds itself :) The other girls are so much better at all the details and stuff like me, so I leave that to them, and give you a pic spam of the castle and boys and girls with only a few short comments. (Oh, and sorry to those who have seen a few of those pictures already in my incoherent squee post yesterday ;))

Spoilers be in here, concerning Uther and one guest star.

Image heavy, obviously ;P



A first view from the streets


When we entered the castle ground and were walking to the entry we passed right through the village of Camelot! Later when we wanted to leave, this part was closed off to the public.






The draw bridge. I think by that time we were all in complete awe. Walking past where Merlin and Arthur met for the first time, and where the fights in "Valiant" and "Excalibur" happened.


My lovely travel companions on the draw bridge!


The courtyard!


To Gaius' chamber


The fountain. And the little wall where Arthur jumps over in episode 11.


Bradley in blue! Looking gorgeous! It really is amazing how much more gorgeous they all look in real! Wow!






The Great Hall!


And Uther's throne.






The set from above this time.


To the dungeons.


Colin and his green plastic bag = new OTP! My personal highlight of the day was seeing Colin a couple of times, he is way too adorable and his smile lights up the whole courtyard :) I wish I could have taken him home with me!




Sadly we could not visit the Slash Dragon.






Bradley on the balcony. Now in chainmail! He was talking to someone on the ground, saying something about Colin being cheeky and if anyone sees him, he should be slapped. Later he also lounged around on the stairs and was striking some very silly poses XD


The girls were both wearing beautiful dresses and looked stunning. Gwen seems to be wearing Morgana's purple dress.




In an alcove at the entrance. The perfect hide away for a stalker ;)


Again, the parking place where the tourney happened in season 1.


Some tired Knights.


ME! ME! ME! (Not me actually :P)


The Pendragon flag waving over the entrance.


ASH XD We were sitting on the grass having a little snack and lounging around when I turn around and there are Anthony Head and Sarah Parish right on the grass with us. We were then asked to move off the grass as they were about to film a scene there. So we moved down to the other side, and sitting down right where Arthur and Merlin met each other for the first time, watching them film. Uther will get some loving XD And his very own long leather coat!















Now that the boys and girls stopped filming inside we finally could wander through the rest of the castle as well.




The way to Lady Helen's chamber.


Some well known places :)




To WalesMorgana's chambers!


They seemed to have forgotten to take this banner off the wall!


We always thought this path way was one storey higher. It always seemed like it in the show but it is on the ground floor actually, and heading to the gift shop. We all watched "The Gates Of Avalon" together in the evening and were making jokes about Uther disappearing into the gift shop to buy some souvenirs any minute now.


The way to and fro Camelot.


And a last look from the parking lot.


Edit: You can find links to the reports of the other girls right here XD

Man, now I'm really jealous. XD Seeing the cast is one thing, but being able to look at the whole castle, inside and out? So cool. *wants*

Aww, this makes even ME totally squee-ish. And I'm ONLY a Merlin-show fan, without the bits around it :D

Wow! thank you so much for sharing these. Wonderful pics!!! Looks like you all had a lot of fun, too :-)

I had the same reaction when I saw the boys and girls at London Expo - they are so gorgeous in real life it's insane.

*drools over Bradley in blue*

Hello, random fan here who followed a link from luisadeza's journal to see your marvellous pics :D

It looks like you had a great day. Like I commented on luisadeza's post, I cannot quite believe you were able to wander so freely around the set and so close to the actors. How amazing!

I couldn't see the pictures on luisadeza's journal so thank you very much for posting yours :D Angel looks stunning in that dress, thank god they've taken her out of those shapeless clothes.

I'm glad you had a great day nosing around the castle and posing (and perving at Bradley and Colin. What is in that bag Colin?!). Oh, and I totally wouldn't have had the courage to approach any of the actors (thankfully I met them ever so briefly at Expo, hee). Thanks again!

Oh, thank you for sharing! Bradley comment about Colin is particularly laugh inducing! Hehe. :D

Thank you for these pictures. Bradley's comment on Colin and the fact he shouted that everyone could hear. hmm...

These are all amazing, thank you for sharing! ♥

He was talking to someone on the ground, saying something about Colin being cheeky and if anyone sees him, he should be slapped.

♥♥♥♥♥♥

Also, that photo of Gwen you took with her walking across the courtyard is beautiful!

Morgana's shoes make me laugh :p

You all look like you had such fun, I can't wait to go! (though that will be in August, and I'm sure the filming will be over by then)
