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.

Tanning as an industry is an important part of the heritage of this region and particularly at Château Renault. This museum is a fascinating visit to discover the history of the art and industry of tanning in the region, which has been brought back to the original tanning mill.

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

The castle and its outbuildings date from the 14th and 17th centuries, but the original fortress was built in the early 11th century.
