Description
Château d'Azay-le-Rideau
The ticket includes
 Priority access to the castle
 Visit of the castle
 Visit of the park
 
Built during the reign of François I by Gilles Berthelot, the king's financier, the Château d'Azay-le-Rideau is a subtle blend of French traditions and innovative decoration from Italy. It became an icon of the new art of building in the Loire Valley in the 16th century, and is now considered one of the jewels of early French Renaissance architecture.
Although its two wings were built in the early years of the 16th century, it was in the 19th century that the château took on the form we know today. As such, Azay-le-Rideau should be appreciated both as an architectural jewel of the 16th century and as a representative example of 19th-century taste for Renaissance art. It was also during this period that the landscaped park that surrounds it today was designed as a veritable showcase of greenery.

Château de Villandry
The ticket includes
 Visit of the castle
 Visit of the gardens
 
The Château de Villandry is located in western Touraine. It is the last château on the Loire to have been rebuilt. The interiors of the Château de Villandry are remarkable for the quality of their furnishings, the multitude of paintings and the refinement of their period decoration. But what really makes this château a must-see are its French-style gardens, which have been completely restored, and which are the source of the site's reputation today. Meticulously tended, with a focus on sustainable development and rational management to limit the use of chemicals and allow the plants to reveal all their natural beauty. Close to where the Cher and Loire rivers meet, Villandry promises some wonderful surprises.
