chateau de Chinon
Situated on its rocky outcrop in Touraine, the Royal Fortress of Chinon reflects the most prestigious hours of the Middle Ages.
The last refuge of Henry II Plantagenet, King of England, its thousand-year-old walls welcomed Eleanor of Aquitaine, Charles VII, and Joan of Arc during major turning points in French history.
With its ramparts punctuated by numerous defensive towers, its distinctive silhouette is its strength and originality. The "three castles" that make up the Royal Fortress now reveal their secrets through reconstructions, immersive tours, and various activities.
The cottage is 10 minutes away from the property.
