Château d’Ussé

A Karen Brown Recommendation

  

Ussé overlooks the River Indre and is everything you expect a château to be, with turrets, towers, chimneys, dormers, and enchantment. The house is completely furnished in period style, illustrating the way things were in the 16th and 17th centuries, complete with wax figurines dressed in period costume. Magnificent Flemish tapestries grace the Great Gallery of the Château d’Ussé and while you are waiting for your guided tour (narrated in French with English description sheets), you can climb the tower whose turret rooms are furnished with scenes from Sleeping Beauty. Conjecture has it that Ussé was the château that inspired Perault to write the famous fairy tale. (Closed Nov to mid-Feb, tel: 02.47.95.54.05.)
