there are so many castles in that area, this is one of the mos popular . We spent 3 days in that area to see Chateaux, and since we stayed near the town of Tour, we picked 2 on the west side and 2 on the east side. From flyers we got at our hotel, this one looks interesting at... More

There is a free parking just next to the castle. This parking is a two-minute walk from the castle. (street Foulques Nerra). If this one is completed, there are possibilities of parking around the castle in the city center. But parking spaces in the city center are however limited at time or paying. More

Didn't see the interior but the castle is imposing from the outside with its drawbridge and turrets. It is the centre of this lovely little French village - a good spot to have lunch or afternoon refreshments as there are several nice restaurants and tearooms.

Great town for a base to many chateaus. Be careful driving, there is an odd sometimes one way street..when the light is red stop, wait, eventually turns green.

We have been to Chambord castle (visit it for the shear size of it), Chacencaux castle (because it spans a river and look great) and this castle. Chateau de Langeais was actually my favorite. Reasons are, excellent layout and flow of tour circuit. You can walk almost all of the rampart and have great views of the town and there... More

Visited during a cold but sunny day in March. One big advantage for the out of season tourist is that it is open EVERY day of the year. Watch out though because The Loire towns seem to be closed on a Monday! Not so easy to find open restaurants, shops, bars etc. Parking was plentiful, probably far less so in... More

Visited on a rainy day in March. The inside of the chateau has been kept very much as it was in medieval times. There is an interesting tableau telling the story, in various languages including English, of the marriage between Anne of Brittany and Charles VIII. Outside there is a pleasant walk through the wooded garden with a fantastic tree... More

From the many chataux I've visited, this is probably my favourite so far. It's a fun and interesting combination of a defensive castle with appropriate location and features, but also the more modern grandeur with decorated rooms and interesting French history. The information cards (in many languages) are concise and full of interesting details. The English version presentations and videos... More

Off the beaten path of most regular tourist locations, Château de Langeais is a visit you will not soon forget. Even in the bitter cold of winter, it was well worth a visit to this château. Wonderful tapestries, paintings and woodworking make you realize there is much to discover in France.

This seems to be a little known chateau on the tourist route... the castle is classic and imposing. The treat is the adventure playground in the grounds intself. Ropes, tree houses, slides etc. All good fun for the family.
