Former hunting lodge of François I, the Château de Beauregard located at Cellettes, in the Loir-et-Cher, later became the residence of the kings' ministers. It remains famous today for its Gallery of Portraits representing 327 illustrious figures in history and politics.
The park of the Château de Beauregard is also worth a visit. Created by Gilles Clément, also at the origin of the garden of the musée du quai Branly in Paris, it is made up of twelve arbor rooms in twelve different colours. They take up the themes evoked in the Gallery of Portraits of the castle.
Accessible to the public, the park of the Château de Beauregard tells more than 300 years of history in flowers and colors. This is one of the essential stops for visitors to the Loire Valley.
