ロアールエシェールのおすすめMTBライド

美しい小さな城で、レオナルド・ダ・ヴィンチが住んでいました。彼の芸術作品や発明品がいくつか展示されています。訪れる価値があります。

Did you know: During the First World War, the castle was converted into a hospital for wounded soldiers by its owner, Simonne Menier (of the Menier chocolate family). – Long rows of camp beds lined the large gallery above the Cher River. – More than 2,000 wounded were reportedly cared for within the castle walls. A bizarre contrast: the ornate Renaissance halls as a place for bandages, operations, and recovery.

An unmissable stop on the Loire à Vélo route on the right bank is the viewpoint overlooking the Château de Ménars, a castle that once belonged to the Marquise de Pompadour. The castle is becoming increasingly hidden by the trees.

A short detour through old Blois, which is not lacking in character.

Near the castle there is a walk to do along the pond of the Bonshommes and the pheasant farm. This short circuit can take you to the magnificent viewpoint of the castle at the end of the lake.

Park with catering, shady and beautiful

From here you can admire the castle in peace and quiet.

Candé-sur-Beuvron is a small, leafy village typical of Sologne. It's a must-see stop on the Loire Valley castle route. If you're looking for peace and quiet, you'll find them along the rivers that flow through Candé, as well as in its forests and vineyards. The village's restaurants offer local cuisine that will delight even the most discerning palates.
