35 Most Haunted Places in the World

"This 17th-century Loire Valley castle incorporates two towers from the medieval castle — once occupied by Jacques de Brézé, the Duke of Bressac — that it replaced. According to legend, after de Brézé caught his wife, Charlotte, and one of his huntsmen en flagrant délit in the south tower, he killed them both on the spot. Some visitors have claimed to have seen Charlotte’s ghost, nicknamed The Green Lady for the color of her dress, roaming the halls. Visit the château and try to spot her yourself. Honestly, though, the stunning architecture alone is worth the trip." - Travel + Leisure Editors

The 10 Most Haunted Places in Europe

"Legend has it the Château de Brissac saw a double murder during the 15th century — an unfaithful wife by the name of Charlotte de Breze and her romantic partner killed by her husband. The woman still wanders the castle today, forever stuck there after her untimely death. She is known as la Dame Verte, the Green Lady, because she wears a green gown, and is often spotted in the tower room of the chapel." - Travel + Leisure Editors

The guided tour (in French) was really worth it, lasts just 45 mins and covers the outside of the castle and the first floor (you can do the rest by yourself). The guide was a good speaker and had a lot of interesting anecdotes. There is a wine tasting in the cave. The park is beautiful and has several long trails.

What an amazing place, the tallest chateau in France! So many beautiful rooms, lovely ceilings and furniture, lots of history.

A very beautiful château, with two outdoor walks that are nice as well! The teddy bear treasure hunt for the kids is an excellent idea (and it was just as fun for the adults as well!)

Worth the admission price to tour the chateau and grounds and see how they built the newer chateau around the ruins. Walk to the mausoleum for an excellent view of the chateau.

It was a very powerful overwhelming chateau inside with wood beamed ceilings throughout the chateau. The beamed ceilings have detailed mini-scenes on them with other painted and gold accents on them. The husband's bedroom was one that shouldn't be missed. It was quite impressive and more than most of the other chateaus I have visited. The wife's bedroom was very nicely done. The theme throughout was with animal antlers and animal heads on the walls. The kitchen was great to see, too! The grounds looking from the windows was pretty to see and photograph. There were very wonderful pieces of furniture with inlays and all. The tapestries were worth seeing. They even have a wine cellar where you can sample their wines for free and purchase bottles of you would like to. Many people were doing just that! Plus they have a room for staged performances to take place with theater seating and all! I definitely would recommend visiting this chateau. It has a lot to offer visitors to experience!

You are assured a great day out at the Chateau Brissac. The Family have been here since 1502 and still occupy the upper levels. The period furniture fills every room and the cellars are used to store wine, which can be tasted before purchase. Amongst the features are stables, a mosoleum and a vineyard. Free parking is only 200m from the entrance gate. Adult tariff is €11

I really enjoyed the walk around the castle grounds. We didn’t get inside because we arrived late.

Beautiful chateau and grounds. Local free parking and just a 10€ entrance fee made the visit an absolute bargain. Fascinating tour and friendly staff. We would certainly recommend a visit.
