Located in Écuillé, the Plessis-Bourré castle is a magnificent building of the XVth century surrounded by wet moats. Several movies have been shot in this place, such as Peau d'Âne (a famous French fairytale), Le Bossu, and Fanfan la Tulipe. Its keep, its towers, its drawbridges, its covered way, its fortified doors and its wide moats make it a real fortress. But with its architectural details announcing the Renaissance period and its richly decorated rooms, the Plessis-Bourré castle is also a leisure residence. Inside, the magnificent wooden ceiling of the guardroom, painted with characters and animals, arouses admiration.
