Loire Valley / Your next move
Bring this chapter to life.
Keep exploring Loire Valley with our travel partners.
Medieval architecture provides the anchor, while art and garden rooms change the tone as you move around the property. That mix gives the visit a more exploratory character than a straight room-by-room château tour. It is especially appealing if gardens are as important to you as stonework.
What to look for
Mix medieval architecture, contemporary art and playful garden rooms.
Useful to know
Explore the themed garden rooms as part of the visit, not just the château interior.
