Châteaux Langeais

A Karen Brown Recommendation

  

Begin your adventures in the Loire Valley by a visit to Langeais, one of the region’s smaller châteaux. Remarkably, it has not been altered since it was built between 1465 and 1471 for Louis XI as a defense against Bretons. It is beautifully furnished and wax figurines commemorate the royal wedding of Charles VIII and Anne of Brittany, which took place on a cold December morning in 1491. On a nearby ridge are the ruins of a 10th-century stone donjon or keep, one of Europe’s first. This was a stronghold of the notorious Fulk Nerra the Black, Count of Anjou.
