Château des Réaux, Renaissance castle in Chouzé-sur-Loire, France

The castle stands on an island surrounded by water ditches, featuring traditional French gardens and Renaissance architectural elements throughout its structure.

In the fifteenth century, Jean Briçonnet, Tours' first mayor, acquired the ruined castle and rebuilt it on the site of an earlier fortified structure.

The castle houses an art gallery containing 760 paintings from 530 international artists, focusing on the representation of legs in contemporary art.

Visitors can stay overnight in themed guest rooms starting at 199 euros, with access to a heated swimming pool and boat rides in the moat.

Following a royal charter, writer Tallemant des Réaux purchased the property in 1650 and renamed it after his family name.
