Azay-le-Rideau

The most picturesque Loire chateau, with grounds and gardens laid out in the style of an English park. Surrounded by water, part of which is the river Indre. Well worth a visit with its paintings of the Valois Kings and state apartments. In the village is a 12th / 15th Century church built into the façade of an earlier church built in the 5th / 6th Centuries.
