On the banks of the Cher River, the medieval town of Saint-Aignan, listed as a remarkable heritage site, appeals to heritage lovers as well as those who enjoy local products and unusual walks. A medieval town in the heart of the Loire Valley châteaux (50 km south of Tours) and 2 km from the Beauval Zoo.

In Saint-Aignan, you will first be impressed by the Renaissance château, which overlooks the town. Adorned with the famous scallop shell and the Salamander of Francis I, it was built on the site of an ancient 9th-century fortress, of which only the Hagard Tower remains today. Construction continued in the 19th century with the addition of an octagonal tower. While the château, now privately owned, is not open to the public, you can nevertheless access its main courtyard and terrace by taking a staircase from the collegiate church.
