Pelouse Mill

Highlight • Other

In the proverbial "good old days" this (former) windmill, standing prominently on the hill and clearly visible from afar, must have made a very deep impression on the viewer. However, this has changed a long time ago: Only the ruinous remains of the once proudly towering tower with the wide sweeping wings is there as a sad testimony to that bygone era. Today's visitor probably enjoys the sight of the ruins less than - at least in good weather - the beautiful view of the wide plain that unfolds in front of him.

Montsoreau Castle

Highlight • Castle

The Château de Montsoreau has been immortalized many times, notably by Alexandre Dumas in his novel La Dame de Monsoreau, written between 1845 and 1846.

Above all, since 2016 Montsoreau has been a Museum of Contemporary Art with the world's largest collection of works from the Art and Language movement. It is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Montsoreau Village and Castle

Highlight • Settlement

Montsoreau is a small town of 400 inhabitants located on the left bank of the Loire, at the confluence of the latter and the Vienne.

With an irresistible charm, Montsoreau responds par excellence to the cities of the Loire: calm, serenity, good living. You will not be disappointed by this discovery!
