Château de Brissac

Well worth the visit; chateau and the area to walk around. Beautiful interior and the history was well presented. I wouldn't get overly excited about the wine it's pretty average, considering there's some really excellent producers/vineyards in the near by area.

Stunning castle set in well kept grounds. Sun shining today which made the walks even more enjoyable. The interior was well worth seeing. Not too busy which allowed time to take in everything on display. Certainly would recommend a stop here, parking just across the street. Staff really helpful too 😊

Very nice place. For young parents: you can walk around the castle with baby in baby carrier, stroller cant come. The castle is beautiful and the story is great to, good tour.

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.

As part of our recent western Val de Loire tour (south of Angers) we revisited the Château de Brissac, this time to experience the landscaped park as we had previously toured the château interior in May 2024. Tip - there's a special rate for a park only tour and a map available on the château website. Our walk took us round past the stables then up the hill to the Mausoleum. afterwards the  walk to the pont rouge then back along the river to the château. All in about 1h15. Absolutely beautiful and well worth a visit I recommend.

Really excellent place, and worth a visit. History is very well done. Great cafe on site with very friendly staff. Grounds are great for a visit and the donkeys are freindly to pet!

Lovely place to visit with a little wine tasting in the cellar, well with a visit! It is worth noting that while there is a lift inside the castle there is still about 20 steps to reach the castle at the start. Also the cellar is not accessible by lift so you would need to leave the castle (20 steps again) then walk around the side to enter. However despite this, the accessibility was better than expected for such an old building.

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!

By guided tour only. Château de Brissac is a current residence for the Brissac family that counts Veuve Clicquot among their ancestors. The château has seven stories altogether, making it the tallest château in the Loire Valley. The front of the house is an interesting combination of medieval castle and 17th century's Baroque architecture The house is lovely and still holds gorgeous artwork of the family, furniture and tapestries from the centuries and we got to see their own theatre where they would put on plays and recitals. Large kitchen underground where I understand they offer cooking classes Their grounds have several paths to tour us around the expansive property. We saw their stables and vineyards. We also went into their underground tunnel. Very cool We walked right up & got into their next tour - it was french but english translations were handed out & since the majority of the group were english-speakers, the guide offered commentary in both languages. Very nice of him!
