It was originally a building remodeled in the 16th century by Marshal de Rochambeau to give it the fabric of a castle.

The building is listed as a historical monument. The common parts of the domain are installed in the troglodyte part of the site. A real curiosity.

It is possible to visit the castle in the summer season.

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.
