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

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

Where Camille Claudel and Auguste Rodin were guests on several occasions and sheltered their passionate love life, L'Islette invites you to let yourself be carried away by the romantic charm of the Indre valley.

The castle of Islette recalls by its architecture that of Azay-le-Rideau. Completed around 1530, it has always been maintained in perfect condition.
Less recognized than the surrounding Loire castles, the Château de l'Islette can be visited from the beginning of May to the end of September, both outside and inside. It is also possible to rent boats to go for a walk on the Indre or to participate in an escape game in the castle.
