Château d'Azay-le-Rideau
Azay-le-Rideau sits beside the Indre, where water reflects its Renaissance facade. Furnished rooms make the visit as much about domestic space as outward appearance.

The water setting is central to this château's appeal: step back to see how the facade relates to the Indre, then move indoors for a more intimate sense of the residence. It suits visitors who prefer a smaller, carefully observed house and setting to a vast estate.
What to look for
Study the waterside facade and move through its furnished rooms.
Useful to know
Leave time to view the waterside facade before entering the furnished rooms.
