Rigny-Ussé (37) - my childhood village of 500 inhabitants - is a French commune in the Indre-et-Loire department, in the Centre-Val de Loire region. It brings together the churches of Notre-Dame de Rigny and that of Ussé. The commune of Rigny-Ussé is located on the left bank of the Indre, about ten kilometers east of its confluence with the Loire.

On the horizon, when the weather is clear, you can see the silhouette of the Château de Ussé. This fairytale castle has a magical appearance that overlooks the Indre and the Loire. It is so beautiful that it inspired Charles Perrault for his Sleeping Beauty. Triggered? Drive there and you will find yourself in a fairytale world. Young and old, immerse yourself in castle life and the scenes from this fairytale come to life before your eyes. Follow in the footsteps of Vauban, Perrault, Chateaubriand, Le Nôtre and the Blacas family, who still live in this illustrious castle in the Loire Valley.

The national forest of Chinon, with an area of 53 square kilometers, is one of the largest in the region. Among its abundant fauna, some legends say that the wolf still lives there. Rest assured: the last one was shot in 1789 at Cheillé, north of the forest.
