The Montbazon Fortress, stronghold of the terrifying Count of Anjou, Fulk III, the Black, looks down on the Indre valley and the town from its rocky spur.
Right at the heart of the Loire châteaux, this is one of France's oldest military structures. It includes one of France's oldest castle keeps, with a history stretching from the late 10th to the 15th century.
Along with a highly immersive guided tour, the Montbazon Fortress is a chance for visitors to find out more about medieval trades during short scenes and demonstrations, with war machines in action, combat masters, stone carvers, weavers, herbalist and calligraphers.
