Standing some 60 metres above the Loir valley, the Château features a rare succession of medieval, Gothic and Renaissance architectural elements including two open staircases overlooking the courtyard. The beautifully preserved interior houses a fine collection of tapestries. The Gothic Sainte-Chapelle, built by Dunois, contains some outstanding sculpted statues. A mediaeval kitchen garden has recently been laid out at the foot of the main keep to illustrate how herbs and spices were used in the cuisine and medicines of the Middle Ages.

Absolutely gorgeous castle. It is empty, except for some lovely, giant tapestries. The spiral staircase & stone work are dazzling to see. Great view of the town & valley below. There is a small, medieval village next to castle. Short walk to center plaza & nice bistros for lunch.
