November 19, 2024, Château de Brissac

A castle to visit if you have the opportunity! Otherwise, it remains very visible from the road!

This ancient castle of the county of Anjou is located on the edge of the D 55. You will not be able to miss it if you pass through Brissac during your outing.

The Château de Brissac is the first of the seventeen Loire châteaux that we visited to truly move us. This castle, still inhabited by the Duke and Duchess of Brissac, is in a very good state of conservation, exceptional! Whether it is the Louis XIII furniture, the 17th century tapestries, the paintings, everything is absolutely well preserved. This castle smells of love of heritage and encaustic and what we discover there is an accumulation of the luxury of centuries; thus in the banquet room, this small balcony installed by Duchess Jeanne Say at the end of the 19th century (heiress to Say sweets, which you will find today in your supermarkets under the name Béghin-Say); this theater installed by Jeanne on the top floor of the castle... A superb discovery that is absolutely worth the detour.

Very impressive local food and wine within 100metres of the castle, at 2 Terraces restaurant. I atr slowly cooked pork with cooked cherries, which was amazing as was the razorshell and vegetable stir fry.

Several morning and afternoon tours. Interesting facts about the Marshals of France who lived here in the 16th century. Stunning rooms, ceilings, paintings, furniture and views related mainly to the 16th Century. Still lived in by an aristocratic family , including their 4 children, with a recent grandiose marriage. Free wine tasting of their own local white , rose and red wines....the red and cabernet rosé were decent wines.

Brissac Castle is located in the French town of Brissac-Quincé, around 15 kilometers south of Angers. The château has seven floors and 204 rooms and is nicknamed the "giant of the Loire" (Wikipedia).
