Royal Fortress of Chinon: Entry Ticket + AR Tablet

Château de Montsoreau – Museum of Contemporary Art

Beaumont

Built on top of a rocky hill, the 10th-century Royal Fortress of Chinon was, in 1429, the venue for a historic meeting between Joan of Arc and the future king of France, Charles VII. Feel history unravel as you walk this huge medieval castle and its vast grounds on the banks of the Vienne river.

Climb its numerous towers and follow the circuit through the fortress using a histopad in seven languages! Discover the unlikely icons of history who once lived here.

Art in a Renaissance-style castle – what could be more culturally extravagant for a day trip? 

In the sprawling Loire Valley, just two hours from Paris, come and explore the Art & Language branch of the Conceptual art movement. It's the world's largest collection exclusively focused on this movement.  

From a critical approach to modernism to a collaboration with a rock band and traditional art like paintings, drawings, and sculptures, it's the coolest castle adventure we can think of!
