Enjoy a unique insight into French Renaissance architecture
and the life of a household from the comfort of your sofa!

Located in the Loire Valley, 140 miles south-west of Paris, the Château d'Azay-le-Rideau is an icon of the new art of building and living in 16th-century France. Its architecture is a subtle blend of French traditions and decorations inspired by antique Rome and its successive owners have contributed to making it one of the most harmonious and refined architectural gems in the Val-de-Loire. Water mirrors, a grand staircase and rich collections of furniture and artworks make it an exceptional monument!
