This royal dwelling built between the 14th and 16th centuries saw the passage of Charles VII, Louis XI, Joan of Arc, Agnès Sorel, Anne of Brittany... and many other royal figures who marked the history of France. Charles VIII and Louis XII extended it with a second building in flamboyant Gothic style. François I was the last king to stay there regularly.

The Logis Royal was one of the most popular Valois residences during the Hundred Years War. Charles VII had a first military-style building built at the end of the 14th century. His successors extended it to include a second wing with a Gothic facade in the flamboyant style. Three women have shaped the history of the Logis Royal: Jeanne d’Arc, Agnès Sorel and Anne de Bretagne.

Hiking
Above the town of Loches, on a rocky plateau, lies a royal complex. It includes three large building complexes: one of the oldest keep (medieval tower houses) in France in the south, a collegiate church in the center, and the Logis Royal (the royal castle) in the north. The entire complex is surrounded by a nearly two-kilometer-long ring wall.
The entire complex is very impressive. If you're in the area, you should definitely take a detour to Loches.
You can find interesting information about the complex on Wikipedia: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_Loches
