Lavardin

Highlight • Settlement

Ranked among the most beautiful villages in France, Lavardin is a very pretty little town, where medieval, Renaissance and troglodyte styles mix. The Saint-Genest church is particularly beautiful, with its colorful paintings. Concerts take place there in summer.

Just opposite you will find a café-bakery, carved into the stone, which serves delicious ice cream. You won't be able to miss the remains of the castle and its 26 meter high tower. Note that it is possible to pitch your tent on the banks of the Loir, at the bottom of the village. The spot is very pleasant.

Château-Renault

Highlight • 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.
