In the 16th century, the estate became the property of Queen Catherine de Medici, then of her rival, Diane de Poitiers. The Arts and Nature center features a combination of around 15 artists, visual artists, and photographers of international renown each year (figures like Sheila Hicks, Andy Goldsworthy, El Anatsui, and Guiseppe Penone).

What people are saying about Loire Valley

Pedagogy at the top for the handling and the safety side. Nice walk, beautiful discovery just remains to perfect the knowledge a little in order to answer any questions from tourists but in a few groups it will be at the top for the season. Truly a beautiful experience and a beautiful memory. RC

All the staff was very friendly though we were 5 minutes late. The correct meeting point is 9 rue des vieilles douves not place Royale. Our children (11 and 9 years old), my husband and I have found this first Segway experience very pleasant. Sure it will not be the last!

Very comfortable to enter without queuing the tickets and at the same price as at the box office

Very well, on a privatized visit because I was alone. Thanks to the guide for her kindness

Very interesting chateau set in a lovely town . The tapestry was amazing
