Langeais

 

One of our favourites.  The renaissance chateau

period furniture and tapestries

  • The restored drawbridge

  • Interior with furniture and tiles

  • the old keep and gardens

The Bridge at Langeais

 

One family who visit us regularly never come to stay 

without taking the opportunity to go to Langeais, 

if only to have coffee in the square.

 

 

 

 

 

In 1491 Charles VIII of France married Duchess Anne of 

Brittany at Langeais, securing the Duchy for France.  There 

is a fine reconstruction of the event with commentaries in 

English and French.
