Loches

Highlight • Other

Loches is a less well-known town in Indre-et-Loire, but just as beautiful as its neighbors on the banks of the Loire such as Amboise or Chaumont. It is located on the edge of the Indre. In addition to a remarkable town center built entirely in tufa stone, it houses a castle built around the 11th century keep belonging to the old fortified castle. The imposing royal home of the Plantagenets has long served as a prison. You can visit it all year round.
