Château de Montigny-le-Gannelon

The castle stands on elevated ground with its eastern façade overlooking the Loir River, surrounded by a 15-hectare park with mature trees.

Initially built as a fortress during Charlemagne's time, the current structure dates from 1495 when Jacques de Renty reconstructed it in Renaissance style.

The western façade features seven stone-carved figures at the top of the cloister columns, each representing one of the seven capital sins.

Located 145 kilometers from Paris, the château offers guided tours, event spaces for weddings, and corporate seminars with entrance fees of 12 euros.

The clock tower displays three distinct garlands, including two depicting grapevines and one representing mourning with widow symbolism.
