Clos d'Entre les Murs

Highlight • Other

Built by Antoine Cristal in 1894, this "between walls" enclosure is a unique plot of vines in the world. It belongs to the Château de Parnay and has been classified as a historical monument since 2010.

Antoine Cristal was the inventor of a unique and at the same time extravagant process. Indeed, the vines grow through a hole in a low wall. It is the principle of "cool feet, belly in the sun".

Boat Restaurant With a View of the Château

A small boat on the Loire with a sensational view of the castle. Simple but good cuisine, and later, cocktail-worthy. (loffard.com)
