Built at the beginning of the 11th century, the Saint-Symphorien church in Azay-le-Rideau is a listed historical monument and bears witness to the architectural history of the region. Built in the pre-Romanesque style, on the remains of an "ecclesiola" from the Merovingian or Carolingian period, this building has survived the centuries and has undergone several extensions and renovations. Unfortunately, the years have not been kind to it and today signs of decay and structural disarray are visible: cracks, water infiltration, loosening of the roof tiles, decay of the tuff, etc. This deterioration is the result of the passage of time, previous extensions, but also of damage caused by conflicts, in particular the looting and confiscations by the German army between 1940 and 1942. Given these challenges, the complete restoration of the Saint-Symphorien church has become an urgent necessity. The restoration of the Saint-Symphorien church is much more than a simple restoration: it is an act of preserving the identity and history of the region, a symbol of collective commitment to heritage. Once the work is completed, the church will continue to play a central role in the cultural and social life of the community, providing a magnificent setting for artistic and cultural events and thus contributing to the prestige of the town of Azay-le-Rideau and its surroundings.

Situated on the banks of the Indre, from the bridge you have a beautiful view of the site and the beautiful 16th century mill.

The origins of the castle Do you know the story of this castle that stands on a small island in the Indre? Built during the reign of Francis I by Gilles Berthelot, the king's financier, the Château d'Azay-le-Rideau is a subtle combination of French traditions and innovative Italian decorations. It became an icon of the new architecture in the Loire Valley in the 16th century and is today considered one of the jewels of the architecture of the first French Renaissance.
