Plus de Chateaux

There are more castles in the Loire than you can shake a stick at! Here are some of our favourites...

Blois



A lovely chateau in the heart of the town of Blois. Opposite is the house of Robert Houdin, who inspired the great Harry Houdini...



Chaumont-Sur-Loire







Amboise



Azay-le-Rideau













Breze



Breze has an incredible 15m deep moat, a daunting challenge for an attacker. The limesone base of the chateau is honey-combed with passages forming a defensive stronghold used back in the 9th century...





Saumur
