Château Azay-Le-Rideau

#LifeAtExpedia

The magnificent Chateau D'Azay-le-Rideau, one of many sites in the Loire Valley. Take a couple of days to see the main Chateaux, including Chenonceau, Cheverney, Chambord, Amboise, etc. and to taste some of the local and cheeses!

Azay-le-Rideau is renowned for its magnificent Renaissance château, a dreamy fairy-tale-like building that is surrounded by a moat and lovely gardens. The Château d'Azay-le-Rideau was built in the 16th century by a wealthy financier. The design of this stately château was greatly influenced by Italian architecture. The most notable features on the ground floor are the rib-vaulted kitchen and the dining room with a richly decorated chimney and numerous tapestries. Sumptuous Renaissance furniture and paintings decorate the reception rooms. In the town of Azay-le-Rideau, there is an interesting church, the Eglise Saint-Symphorien, that blends Romanesque and Gothic styles. The facade of the south aisle reveals remains of Carolingian reliefs. In the nearby Château of Saché, the famous author Honoré de Balzac (1799-1850) wrote some of his novels. The room where Balzac worked has been preserved as it was.

We so wish we could’ve stayed more than a day here. The suite was very quaint and comfortable with a nice balcony. Breakfast was decent and hotel staff were very pleasant. Hope to be back soon!
