Azay-le-Rideau castle

‘Multi-faceted diamond, set in the Indre river, mounted on stilts masked by flowers’. This phrase by Balzac is enough to describe this château where the proportions are as perfect as the décor is rich.
BR>It was built in the first years of the reign of François I and combined the majesty of French châteaux with the charm of Italian palaces.

During the 20th century, it was refurbished by the Marquis of Biencourt who added two towers and decorated the library and the grand salon in a neo-Renaissance style.
