Go back in time at the fortress of Chinon

Now you can with the Histopad!
What is this 2.0 gadget, you might be wondering – yet another one?
We decided to try it out – and even technophobes will love it!

You can enjoy an amazing journey back in time with the virtual reality content on the Histopad tablet.
Eight rooms that have been completely changed today or no longer exist have been restored on the tablet to their original state. All the content has been designed and scientifically approved by expert historians, guaranteeing the quality of this new, fun, educational tool.
Enter the walls and explore an inaccessible area, relive the exceptional Christmas court of Henry II of England in the palace stateroom, watch the Recognition scene with Joan of Arc or handle siege engines and artillery in 3D (a mangonel, trebuchet, cannons, etc.) using an
interactive technique.

Treasure Hunt

You will also play an active role during a treasure hunt in search of precious objects all the way through your visit.

The Histopad is included in the price of admission to the Fortress of Chinon and is available in seven languages.
If you liked using the Histopad, then you will also find it at Loches Castle and at the Châteaux of Amboise, Blois and Chambord (as well as at other sites in France).

So, are you ready to go inside the walls?
