The castle of Thouaré presents a frontage mixing elements of different periods, and registered with the Historical Monuments.
The origins of the castle of Thouaré-sur-Loire date back to the 10th century. The most famous owner was Anne Descartes, half-sister of the famous philosopher. The facade of the castle is a mixture of elements of different periods: the crenellations of the Middle Ages, the lantern tower of the Renaissance, or the double mullioned windows of the second half of the nineteenth. Its dovecote, a privilege of the nobility, dates from the 15th century and has been listed as a historic monument since 1982. It is a private castle, but the dovecote can be visited during the Heritage Days.

Délicieux petits déjeuners au jardin, calme et ensoleillé, une très vaste chambre princière aux tentures murales joyeuses et colorées, salle de bain luxueuse attenante.
Un séjour de rêve à refaire et à recommander : toujours surpris vous serez, jamais déçus vous reviendrez. A voir absolument.
