Saint-Michel Church Square

Highlight • Religious Site

This very pretty church is directly linked to the nearby Fontevraud Abbey. On the site of the current church stood a chapel built by the monks of the Abbey of Fontevraud in the 12th century, known as the Chapel of the Angels, which was not erected into a parish church until a little later.

Royal Fortress of Chinon

Highlight • Castle

The Château de Chinon is of great importance in the history of France. It is in this place that Joan of Arc first meets the Dauphin (name given to the one who is not yet king) future King of France Charles VII from whom she asks for an army. Chinon is also the city of the author François Rabelais French humanist writer of the Renaissance, born at La Devinière in Seuilly, near Chinon (in the former province of Touraine), in 1483 or 1494 according to the sources, and died in Paris on April 9, 1553. He is the author among others of Pantagruel, it is to say if one eats and drinks well there! Chinon wine is one of the strongest in the Loire, which has a reputation in general for being fairly light wines. The city center is most pleasant.
