FORTERESSE DE CHINON

Travel back to the Middle Ages!
Step into the heart of the Middle Ages at the Royal Fortress of Chinon!
Overlooking the Vienne River from its rocky spur at the crossroads of Anjou, Touraine, and Poitou, the Royal Fortress of Chinon reflects the most prestigious eras of the Middle Ages. As the final refuge of Henry II Plantagenet, its thousand-year-old walls welcomed Eleanor of Aquitaine, Charles VII, and Joan of Arc during key turning points in French history.
