Step into the heart of the Middle Ages at the Royal Fortress of Chinon!

Overlooking the River Vienne from its rocky promontory, at the crossroads of Anjou, Touraine and Poitou, the Royal Fortress of Chinon bears witness to the most glorious chapters of the Middle Ages. Once the final refuge of Henry II Plantagenet, its thousand-year-old walls welcomed Eleanor of Aquitaine, Charles VII and Joan of Arc at pivotal moments in French history.

With its defensive towers, mighty ramparts and three castles, the Fortress offers a truly immersive experience through furnished reconstructions, interactive tours and activities for the whole family.
