The Château de l'Islette's architecture is reminiscent of the Château de Azay-le-Rideau. Completed around 1530, it has always been maintained in perfect condition.
Less renowned than the surrounding Loire Valley châteaux, the Château de l'Islette can be visited from early May to late September, both inside and out. It is also possible to rent boats to cruise the Indre River or participate in an escape game inside the château.

In the heart of Touraine, in an enchanting setting where the delicate white of the tuffeau stone and the ever-changing green of the Indre River blend harmoniously, L'Islette welcomes you.

The Renaissance château, nestled in the arms of the Indre River, is now home to the current owners. They are happy to share their home with visitors and show them the rooms currently occupied. In this way, they combine history and modernity to create a 21st-century château.

L'Islette, where Camille Claudel and Auguste Rodin were frequent guests and sheltered their passionate love life, invites you to be swept away by the romantic charm of the Indre Valley.
