Saint-Georges-d'Espéranche (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃ ʒɔʁʒ dɛspeʁɑ̃ʃ]) is a commune in the Isère department in southeastern France.[3]
History
[edit]The medieval architect and castle builder for Edward I of England, Master James of Saint George, also known as Jacques de Saint-Georges d'Espéranche, constructed the castle for Philip I, Count of Savoy. On 23 June 1273 he met King Edward I of England there, and it is likely the castle inspired the later construction of the UNESCO listed castles of north Wales.[4]
