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.
