This is one of the famous smaller castles in the Loire valley. It offers nearly a fairy-tale impression above the water and in the surrounding park. I recommend the evening visit inside the castle to feel a real atmosphere of the castle centuries ago by special lighting, scents, musical extracts.

Beautifully located Renaissance castle with very well decorated rooms. Outside parc is not as large as expected, but invites you to stroll around, having great views on the castle. Contrary to most other Loire castles, parking is not for free but nothing prevents you from searching (and finding) a place at a short walking distance - which has the advantage of letting you discover the village itself.

I absolutely loved this chateau. It was my favourite of those I visited on this trip. They gave us a leaflet and afterwards I bought a book in English (£12). The interior was lovely and the textiles in beautiful condition. Had a lovely crepe in the tea shop. The river was on the verge of flooding with only inches under the bridge.

Lovely chateau to visit. I liked how it showed how things had changed over the years. The temporary exhibition of theatrical costumes was great. Not a lot to interest my 7 year old, but since children are free this is less annoying than usual! The shop was incredibly expensive!
