Castle of Azay le Rideau
At the heart of the Loire Valley, Tours and its regions offer many riches. Enjoy the central location for touring Tours in Touraine yesterday and today.
Not far from the prestigious site of the castle and the gardens of Villandry, the castle of Azay Le Rideau, built in the sixteenth century on an island in the middle of Indre is located, in the greenery. This castle is a true success of the Renaissance architecture. Punctuated of turns and turrets, the two wings at right angles present a perfect alliance of traditional elements and features borrowed from the Italian art. The apartments furnished are decorated by a beautiful collection with Flemish and French tapestries of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
