Top 4 Castles around Neuillé-Le-Lierre

At first glance, it may seem surprising that a statue was dedicated to the Italian polymath LEONARDO da VINCI (1452 to 1519) here in the French Loire Valley. But you have to know that he spent the last years of his life in the neighboring castle of Le Clos Lucé at the invitation of the French king and died there on May 2, 1519. His grave is believed to be in the Hubertus Chapel - see https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/958658 - but it is not certain whether his remains are actually there.

Great view of the castle. Unfortunately it is difficult to get seats in the bar.

Very beautiful and large places and super friendly people!!!

A must-see in the region: crossing the bridge with a view of the castle!

This small fortified town has its origins in the middle of the 11th century. It was at this time that the castle was built. It will be reworked several times thereafter, notably during the Hundred Years War. The town thus developed over the centuries. It experienced strong development in the 19th century thanks to the tannery industry, making Château-Renault the city of leather. Since then, the old industries have been converted. The city has a rich medieval and industrial heritage to discover by admiring its castle and visiting the tannery museum.

The campsite CAMPING MUNICIPAL L'ILE D'OR is located in Amboise in the Indre-et-Loire, in the Center region. Located on an island in the middle of the Loire, 291 pitches and 4 rental tents await guests. A separate area for cyclists with picnic tables and benches is very pleasant if you are traveling with little luggage. The sanitary buildings are very clean and also have washing machines for large laundry. The magnificent medieval town where Leonardo da Vinci lived, worked and died can be reached very quickly on foot, always with the beautiful castle in view. When you return to the campsite in the evening, the illuminated castle is reflected in the calm waters of the Loire. A stay here is highly recommended.

Stop to admire this statue of Leonardo da Vinci on the Isle d'Or. Don't forget to turn around and also look behind you to enjoy the view over the Loire to the Château d'Amboise.

This castle is located in the heart of 53 hectares of woods and fields, on the outskirts of the village of Villedômer. The owners have created a campsite "L'Orangerie de Beauregard" to accommodate people with hearing, motor, mental and visual disabilities.
