CHÂTEAU DES ORMES
Castle which was one of the strongholds of the Count of Argenson, its large rooms were one of the largest libraries in France
At the gateway to Touraine, Château des Ormes was one of the strongholds of the Comte d'Argenson, an enlightened aristocrat and Louis XV's Secretary of State for War. After falling out of favor at Versailles, he exiled himself to Les Ormes in 1757, transforming the château into a jewel of18th-century architecture. Immerse yourself in the daily life of the period by visiting the château's farm, icehouse, gardens and fine kitchens, and follow in the footsteps of the Enlightenment by admiring the grand salons and what was once one of France's largest libraries. A real gem to visit!
