Come discover the Château du Rivau, a unique blend of medieval and Renaissance architecture set in the heart of Touraine! One of the lesser-known Loire valley castles, this French château seems to come straight out of a fairy tale, thanks to its imposing keep, protective drawbridge, and glorious gardens. One can still discern its original square layout, typical of a 13th-century fortified French castle. The Château du Rivau is also one of the first ornamental castles to be built: its fireplaces, wide windows and frescos endow it with the harmonious style of a 16th-century French château.

Voilà une expérience récréative, inattendue et très appréciée Nous avons fait escale au Château du Rivau pensant visiter un énième château, certes intéressant mais parfois un peu long et fatiguant, surtout pour les enfants…et nous avons découvert un lieu charmant, plein d’animations et d’humour!
