Château de Langeais

Fantastic castle with fully realized and well (authentic!) reconstructed interior rooms. Wonderful park to have a stroll in.

Large chateaux with many rooms to visit. Lived that you could also walk around the walkway at the top of the building. We visited on the last day of the playmobile exhibt. This was really very very good. No wait to enter, parked quite close to the venue.

Chateau/castle in town centre, very striking. Interesting rooms throughout, not a lot of furniture as it was built in the 15 and 16th century, interesting tiled flooring you can walk around the gardens and look across to the town and river.

I liked the castle. You feel a good attitude to his past, a lot of things have been restored, information in many languages. I recommend it to visit, it's a great place.

This chateau, of the many I visited in northern France, ranks at the top for me. It's not too big, includes many original elements, and wasn't packed with tourists. An easy walk from a parking lot, through street vendors (it was also market day), along the village street and you're there. The chateau is incredibly close to the main shops of the village (visit the Cafe du Chateau Brasserie for cappuccino), with an easy walk up the cobbled street to stairs leading across an intact drawbridge (rare to find in many places these days). Pass through the portcullis and the barbican into the courtyard, hang left to purchase tickets and begin your personal tour. As with all castles, this one includes many stairs--from the towers to the courtyard gardens and back into the woods where you'll find a really cool tree house and the medieval ruins of a chapel--as well as views over the Loire River. There are no cafes but toilets are available in the courtyard (bring your own water bottle). You can tour many rooms, climb a tower or two, and even walk between the castle walls (parts of which were under restoration when I visited). One large hall is dedicated to a representation of the marriage of Charles VIII & Anne of Brittany; this marriage merged Brittany with France. Another room contains The Tapestries of Nine Worthies, which date from the 13-14th c. Venture back outside to see the old keep (ruins) and a lovely rose garden. Keep going up the hill, through the gate, and past the old Keep. There's a treehouse built within a giant cedar, the 11th c. chapel ruins, and views of the village, river, and the 1859 Pont de Langeais suspension bridge. Once done, there are only a few restaurants, so, if it's market day, head over for food and set up an impromptu picnic.

Very interesting chateau, in very well kept town with falconry demonstrations and huge tree house for kids.

Very nice time, we visited on a hot day and most of the castle was cooler than outside. The video in one room wasn't translated in English, but the rest of it has either with subtitles or or translated text. Very interesting

Very beautiful. Explanations are available in different languages. Bird show was amazing

It became chateau at mid 14th century when King Louis XI decided to build it. This chateau is name after Captain-Governor of Langeais. This chateau also located at the town of Langeais at Loire Valley. 1491, the chateau host an wedding of Charles VIII with Anne of Brittany. This wedding incorporated the duchy of Brittany to France. The chateau has 16 rooms to visit. It includes Banquet Hall, Antechamber, wedding hall, The Luini Room. The wedding hall is where Anne of Brittany got wed. They run the history show of the wedding. The visit also includes the walk at castle surrounding wall. The garden is big at the back of castle. The sacred art room contains Saint Agnes paintings. To visit the castle take 1.5 hours. Parking is in the town and is free. Easy access to the castle.

We spent pretty much an entire day in this place, surprisingly. The history was very interesting. I really enjoyed the tour. Definitely a must-see if you are in the area.
