This castle is a beautiful example of the transition from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance

Built by the de Jais family in the 15th century, this castle is a fine example of the transition from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance and, although it was never a royal estate, the kings of France often visited it during their hunting trips in the Chambiers forest. But the place has also known dark hours: it is there that the St. Bartholomew's Day massacres are said to have been fomented... The guided tour, which includes an explanation of a large gallery decorated with 17th century frescoes and one of the largest fireplaces in Europe, lasts about an hour.

Castle without great originality. A castle like a lot around the Loire and Loir. However, the old town of Durtal is very pleasant and worth a visit.
Very beautiful and very large castles, a magnificent setting, one is warm an unforgettable stay mercy still Marion and Quentin young Masters of the place. More view of the loir, as well as a city super good maintained.
