Castle of Langeais

Castle of Langeais

Langeais Castle, in the Loire Valley near Tours, dates from the end of the Middle Ages. It has a wall walk, drawbridge and imposing towers and boasts a remarkable collection of medieval furniture and tapestries.
A tour of the interior not only gives a good idea of day-to-day life in the Middle Ages, but also provides reminders of a key event in French history : the marriage of Charles VIII and Duchess Anne of Brittany, which eventually led to her still-independent duchy becoming part of France.
