Château de Montreuil-Bellay

Why go

Begin with the protective character of the outer structures, then consider how the later living spaces alter the impression. The position above the river is part of the setting, not merely a backdrop. This is a good stop for seeing a fortress become a residence over time.

What to look for

• Walk through layered defenses and later residential rooms.

Useful to know

• Give both the defenses and residential rooms attention during your visit.
