Château d'Azay-le-Rideau
Description:
Château d'Azay-le-Rideau (16th century) is surrounded by water. This moat was once gave the chateau its defences, but now it gives its reflection. It came into the hands of the French king when the owner was accused of financial trickery. However, not many kings have resided here. But it is not lacking in beauty and elegance. It is considered a Renaissance chateau and is one of the leading examples in this style.
