A day at the castle

Centuries go by, but the towering stature of the châteaux is as impressive as ever. Admire these stone giants: they are direct witnesses to our history and to the power of their former owners. Visit these former places of power with a smile on your face, from the drawing rooms to the kitchens, via magnificent gardens. For a few hours, you’ll be the guest of honour!

Vary the pleasures

Are you more tempted by a fun discovery, a temporary exhibition, the opportunity to picnic on site or take a boat ride, particularly elegant floral decorations? Each monument offers its own unique visitor experience, closely linked to its identity. Without a doubt, visiting the châteaux is a pleasure that never fails!

Land of castles

Charles VII, Louis XI, Charles VIII, Louis XII, François 1er, Catherine de Médicis… The regular presence in Touraine of the court of the kingdom of France was accompanied by the construction of numerous châteaux, enhanced by beautiful exteriors. While many of them can be visited, others have become very pleasant places to stay!
