Castles in Anjou<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Take advantage of your stay at our 3-star campsite in Durtal to visit some of the greatest castles in the area: <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ch\u00e2teau de Baug\u00e9 en Anjou 20 min from Les Portes de l’Anjou campsite<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Discover the Palais du Roi Ren\u00e9<\/strong>, the home of a 15th-century prince. We know about his ch\u00e2teau in Angers, from where he ruled from Anjou to Jerusalem, but do you know about his private residence, where this erudite prince loved to live, entertain his friends, hunt and write?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy a scenographic tour designed for the whole family, and discover the Banqueting Hall<\/strong>, the King’s Retreat<\/strong>, the Cladding Room<\/strong> and the King’s Chamber<\/strong>…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The whole family can enjoy King Ren\u00e9’s 5 passions, thanks to an application that lets you play along the way, based on the principle of the 7 families game…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

H\u00f4tel-Dieu Apothicairerie<\/strong>: Just 200m from the ch\u00e2teau, don’t miss another fascinating tour of a hospital from Louis XIV to the present day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Open daily from April 15 to November 05<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ch\u00e2teau du Lude 30 minutes from Les Portes de l’Anjou campsite<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Halfway between Tours and Le Mans, at the gateway to Anjou, the ch\u00e2teau<\/a> and gardens <\/a>of Le Lude are part of the Unesco World Heritage Loire Valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond its imposing appearance, Le Lude is above all a site with a soul, which you can feel throughout your visit. Indeed, it is one of the few large ch\u00e2teaux still inhabited, the object of all the care of a family that has occupied it for 260 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Four in one! The ch\u00e2teau bears witness to four centuries of French architecture, a defensive fortress transformed during the Renaissance and Classical eras into an elegant palace-like residence. Young and old alike will be enchanted by the labyrinth, the stables and the underground passageways, all of which are full of surprises along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The monument overlooks the Loir valley, and the surrounding gardens, classified as ” remarkable gardens<\/strong> “, have been shaped over generations, harmoniously blending regular parterres with an English-style park. Chinese roses, topiaries, labyrinths and botanical collections punctuate the visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Open from April1st<\/sup> to September 30th + weekends in October and All Saints’ vacation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ch\u00e2teau du Plessis-Bourr\u00e9 30 min from Les Portes de l’Anjou campsite<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ch\u00e2teau du Plessis-Bourr\u00e9, formerly known as “le Plessis-le-Vent”, is a late medieval fortress surrounded by a moat<\/strong>. Built in just 5 years, from 1468 to 1473, its exteriors have been preserved in their original state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Come and discover this private and still inhabited monument, built by Jean Bourr\u00e9, King Louis XI’s treasurer, either on your own or with a guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ch\u00e2teau du Plessis-Bourr\u00e9 is unique in its Transitional style. In fact, it has all the features of a late medieval fortress with its defensive system. However, its elegance, arcaded promenade, high mullioned windows and comfortable interiors, appreciated by several French kings, herald the Renaissance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
