Chateau de Langeais Attractions

Langeais (pop. 3,868) has one of the fastest-built châteaux in the Loire valley: its construction took only four years. It has remained unchanged down the centuries; the medieval rooms with their original decoration and fine wall-hangings are particularly worth seeing. Within the castle ward is what is believed to be the oldest keep in France (10th C.). The present Château was built by Louis XI in 1465-1469. Charles VIII was married here to Anne de Bretagne in 1491.
