Hidden in a small valley near the Indre river, just off the route linking Langeais and Azay le Rideau, the seven towers of the charming Renaissance castle of La Chatonniere - whose history goes back to Middle Ages, the Hundred years war and the War of Religions - are surrounded by twelve terraced gardens.
Geometrical or wild, blue, salmon or white, perfumed and feminine, they can be explored along an initiatory path...
