View of Ussé castle

Highlight • Castle

On the horizon, when the weather is clear, you can see the silhouette of the Château de Ussé. This fairytale castle has a magical appearance that overlooks the Indre and the Loire. It is so beautiful that it inspired Charles Perrault for his Sleeping Beauty.

Triggered? Drive there and you will end up in a fairytale world.

Young and old, immerse yourself in castle life and the scenes from this fairytale come to life before your eyes. Follow in the footsteps of Vauban, Perrault, Chateaubriand, Le Nôtre and the Blacas family, who still live in this illustrious castle in the Loire Valley.

Royal Fortress of Chinon

Highlight • Castle

The Château de Chinon is of great importance in the history of France. It is in this place that Joan of Arc first meets the Dauphin (name given to the one who is not yet king) future King of France Charles VII from whom she asks for an army. Chinon is also the city of the author François Rabelais French humanist writer of the Renaissance, born at La Devinière in Seuilly, near Chinon (in the former province of Touraine), in 1483 or 1494 according to the sources, and died in Paris on April 9, 1553. He is the author among others of Pantagruel, it is to say if one eats and drinks well there! Chinon wine is one of the strongest in the Loire, which has a reputation in general for being fairly light wines. The city center is most pleasant.

Beautiful loop between Chateau d'Ussé and medieval Chinon! Too bad the Loire part doesn't offer Loire views because of the trees zone in between...
