The starting point of the cycle route along the Loire is apparently so beautiful that there are two of it. However, if you take a closer look at the location in the komoot system, the two points are a dozen kilometers apart. If you're interested, see also =>> https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/277956

A beautiful castle ruin that unfortunately cannot be visited as it is fenced off and privately owned.

Unfortunately this monument was closed when we passed by. That's why there is only one photo!

A castle classified as a historic monument since 1914, it is made up of a massive keep and a fortified enclosure surrounded by a moat. A river, the Sagonin, supplies them with water. This estate has the particularity of having belonged to the great architect of Louis XIV, Jules Hardouin-Mansart. Its acquisition in 1699 had a specific goal for him: that of owning a titled feudal domain in order to be able to claim its ennoblement by the king in 1682 and thus have his arms appear on all his documents and portraits. The castle subsequently experienced long periods of abandonment and today only the medieval part remains, restored by volunteer projects from 1977.
