What to expect

The Azay-le-Rideau Castle, located on an island in the heart of the Loire Valley, is one of the first Loire Valley castles built in the Renaissance style, characteristic of the 16th century. Constructed between 1518 and 1527 during the reign of François I, this architectural jewel is steeped in history. Immerse yourself in royalty as you admire the cultural richness near the Indre River. Delightfully wander through this castle and ascend the steps of its sumptuously decorated staircase while marveling at the beauty of the ceilings and Italian-inspired decorations. Stroll through the eight hectares of English-style gardens designed in the 19th century. Finally, admire a water mirror reflecting from the south facade of the castle which, as Honoré de Balzac said, is akin to "a diamond set by the Indre."
