LES Ormes is known for its unique architectural ensemble of an unavoidable historical richness.

View from the bridge on Les Ormes.

The Clock Tower is the emblematic gateway to the Château du Milieu, which it defended in the Middle Ages with a drawbridge and portcullis. These defensive elements have now disappeared. Slender and slender, it rises over five levels and is crowned by a patrol path.

This church was built in the 11th century, expanded in the 15th and 16th centuries, restored in the 20th century, and its porch dates from the 18th century. The porch, with its pediment, gives visitors no clue that they are entering a thousand-year-old Romanesque nave. The two western bays are vaulted, like the entire building in the 15th and 16th centuries, with ribbed vaults.

History in brief Antiquity: the site is strategically located on a promontory and has been inhabited for 3,000 years. It was not fortified until the end of the Roman Empire. Middle Ages: in 1154, the new King of England, Henry II Plantagenet, became ruler of an empire stretching from Scotland to the Pyrenees and made Chinon his continental capital. He had a large palace built next to the fortress, which has now disappeared. In 1189, abandoned by his sons, Richard the Lionheart and John Lackland, and fleeing from the King of France, he eventually died there. Philippe Auguste had the defensive Tour du Coudray built there after the siege of 1205. Renaissance: in 1454, the fortress became the main residence of Queen Marie d'Anjou, who lived there without her husband. She spent lavishly on decorating the house to her taste. From the 16th century onwards, the fortress was gradually abandoned and fell into disrepair. Despite the dangerous nature of the terrain, it became a public promenade in 1824 and was listed as a monument in 1840. The restoration of the estate began in 1854 thanks to the efforts of the writer Prosper Mérimée. Source: https://loirelovers.fr/en/visit-royal-fort-chinon/
