シャトー＝ルノー周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ6

This small fortified town has its origins in the middle of the 11th century. It was at this time that the castle was built. It will be reworked several times thereafter, notably during the Hundred Years War. The town thus developed over the centuries. It experienced strong development in the 19th century thanks to the tannery industry, making Château-Renault the city of leather. Since then, the old industries have been converted. The city has a rich medieval and industrial heritage to discover by admiring its castle and visiting the tannery museum.

Family residence of the Giscard d'Estaing family, the estate of this beautiful 18th century building also houses the remains of an old abbey. The majestic deer's head, which adorns the gate, carefully guards the entrance. It is here that the former President of the Republic breathed his last.

This castle is located in the heart of 53 hectares of woods and fields, on the outskirts of the village of Villedômer. The owners have created a campsite "L'Orangerie de Beauregard" to accommodate people with hearing, motor, mental and visual disabilities.

This is an 11th century mill. Originally a wheat mill, it was used as a tan mill in the 19th century for tanneries.

In Villedômer lies this church, on the Way of St. James. My hosts got the key to the church and gave me a small private tour. My host also regularly gives concerts in the church. A beautiful place. The pictures speak for themselves.
