Tips

In a preserved setting, 20 minutes from Tours, the Domaine de Candé takes you on a discovery of a daringly landscaped castle and invites you to stroll in the heart of an equally unique 230 hectare park.

Made famous in 1937 by the marriage of the Duke of Windsor to the American Wallis Simpson, Château de Candé had many owners from the Middle Ages to the 20th century. Two of them equipped it with extremely modern equipment that was rare for the time: huge kitchens on two levels; ultramodern bathrooms; a thousand square meters of cellars equipped with the latest presses; a Bell telephone exchange; a fitness room equipped with equipment worthy of the Titanic; a monumental Skinner organ, the only one in Europe.

The various tours and walks invite you to contemplate and observe the natural and technical heritage of the estate ... remarkable hundred-year-old trees, protected flora and fauna, telephones, hydraulic station, bathrooms, sports equipment from the 1930s, Organ de Skinner residence…
