Castles:

Château de Chinon:

Originally built in 954 by Theolbald I, Comte de Blois, this castle is located on a steep plateau. In 1044, this castle then was taken over by Comte d"anjou, Geoffroy Martel, who was a rival.

The Comte d'Anjou made several changes and upgrades to the castle including joining the walls of the two original defensive structures. He also added towers and the chapel of St. Melanie.

The far east wing was added by Henry II Plantagenet. Until 1205 he and his descendants continued construction work, adding the fortress to the east and the internal chapel, the mill tower and the numerous reinforcement towers.

A lot of important French history took place at Château de Chinon and is well worth the visit.

Château d'Azay-le-Rideau:

Another extraordinary castle worth visiting is Château d'Azay-le-Rideau. This stunning castle is located on an island in the Indre river. Azay-le-Rideau was built for François I by Gilles Berthelot, a financier in his state.

This castle combines a few different architectural styles with influences from Italy and of course, French.

Visitors wishing to see this castles should not park in the town of Azay-le-Rideau as parking in this old medieval town is a little bit difficult. Instead, park on the banks of the Indre River at the entrance to the town. From this parking lot, it is simply a gentle 10 minute walk to the castle.
