Hiking
The Château de Beauregard is a Renaissance castle which was once a hunting lodge of François I and a residence of the ministers of the kings of the 16th and 17th centuries. You can enjoy the 40-hectare landscaped park, which includes a portrait garden designed by the famous landscape architect Gilles Clément. It's a great way to discover a gem of the Loire Valley and immerse yourself in history and nature.

Hiking
This former hunting lodge of François I is an essential stopover for history lovers. It houses the famous “Portrait Gallery” and its 327 illustrious people, the largest collection of historical portraits in Europe. Inhabited by the same family since 1926, Beauregard has continued to improve and develop since its inception.
At the end of the 15th century, the manor of François Doulcet was confiscated by King Louis XII. Beauregard then joined the properties of the King of France and became a hunting destination for François I, which he gave in 1520 to his uncle René of Savoy.
