Let yourself be guided to the rhythm of French history with the Château d'Azay-le-Rideau, built on an island in the middle of the Indre River. Its water mirror is itself flattered by the reflection of its delicate forms and the grace of its Renaissance architecture. After lunch, visit the gardens of Château de Villandry. Set in an ancient meadow surrounded by lime trees, they reflect the charms of Villandry throughout the four seasons. Then on to Château d'Ussé. Once upon a time, there was a castle with a fairy-tale appearance... that's how it presents itself to you, its slender silhouette seemingly straight out of a fairy tale. Behind this appearance lies a treasure trove of treasures.
