Château de Valençay

The Château of Valencay is exceptional due to its situation overlooking the Nahon valley. With its Renaissance and classical architecture, it is one of the greatest sites in the Loire valley, next to its neighbors Chenonceau and Cheverny. A visit to the Château of Valencay is a day into a Prince’s life ! Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand Périgord was both Napoleon’s minister, one of the greatest French diplomats but also a Prince reigning over his land of Valencay. A rich collector, traveler, art lover, his house shows all marks of a man of taste. Fully furnished and decorated with hundreds of fine objects, the Chateau of Valencay bears the mark of the refinement of a still inhabited house.
