SIGHTSEEING
  • Montbazon is a place to stay on the road to Spain. This important stronghold commanding the valley of Indre belongs to great feudal families. Fulk Nerra, Count of Anjou built a wooden fort, which was rebuilt in stone around 1050, then topped with a statue of the Virgin. Today, after a long period of renovation, the tower is open to the public.
  • There he discovered a valley that starts Montbazon, finally seems to jump in and Loire castles set on his twin hills, a beautiful emerald cut in the bottom of which rolls the Indre with movements of a snake.
