Castle of Langeais and Azay-le-rideau..
On another historical note, discover the Castle of Langeais : treasure of the Renaissance era with medieval inspirations. This castle is located 13 kms away from the campsite. In the heart of the Loire Valley, this ancient royal estate has many different rooms to see, furnished with Middle-Age furnitures. Outside, take the time to walk in the beautiful park. In the summer, do not forget to attend the raptors shows and many other animations meant for the young and old!
The beautiful village of Azay-le-Rideau is a must-see! This village is particularly famous for its incredible Renaissance castle, built under the reign of François 1er. This jewel from the past seems to be floating over water (brought by the river Indre) which brings a very romantic touch to its design. In the summer, nocturnal visits are organised with sounds and lights animations. A different and original way to enjoy your visit!
The campsite Le Sabot, located behing the castle can welcome you for you next stopover…
