Guide de voyage: Touraine Vallée de l'Indre 2026

Touraine Vallée de l'Indre : idées de séjour, infos pratiques et culturelles

Azay-le-Rideau is renowned for its magnificent Renaissance chùteau, a dreamy fairy-tale-like building that is surrounded by a moat and lovely gardens. The Chùteau d'Azay-le-Rideau was built in the 16th century by a wealthy financier. The design of this stately chùteau was greatly influenced by Italian architecture. The most notable features on the ground floor are the rib-vaulted kitchen and the dining room with a richly decorated chimney and numerous tapestries. Sumptuous Renaissance furniture and paintings decorate the reception rooms. In the town of Azay-le-Rideau, there is an interesting church, the Eglise Saint-Symphorien, that blends Romanesque and Gothic styles. The facade of the south aisle reveals remains of Carolingian reliefs. In the nearby Chùteau of Saché, the famous author Honoré de Balzac (1799-1850) wrote some of his novels. The room where Balzac worked has been preserved as it was.
