Medieval castle with a medieval fortress, royal Renaissance stables, park and themed gardens.
Le Rivau is the perfect family getaway. Just ten minutes from Chinon, Château du Rivau offers a lively way to visit the châteaux of the Loire Valley, with an original museography, playful gardens classified as "Remarkable Gardens" and an audiovisual tour of the royal stables. With its fourteen exceptional gardens (listed as a Conservatoire de la rose parfumée), where works of art punctuate the visit with great humor, this château is an excellent family destination. The building, which has undergone very little remodeling, is an exceptional château, encircled by dry moats and tufa stone. The interior is just as majestic: vast rooms with Gothic architecture and walls adorned with Renaissance oil paintings. It's a château that marries authenticity and refinement. You can dine at the Table des Fées (locavore restaurant) or at the chef's table in the heart of the château, where he will prepare gourmet cuisine using produce from the kitchen garden. In the evenings, the château opens its doors for three Apé'Rivau events, offering musical and convivial entertainment. Le Rivau also offers guest rooms, so you can live the life of a château, combining authenticity with modern comfort. Rose festivals, equestrian jousts, pumpkin festivals... Many events punctuate the year at the château. We highly recommend a visit to this smart and beautiful address!

The ratings and reviews below reflect the subjective opinions of members and not the opinion of The Little Witty.
Je recommande spécifiquement les sandwichs de Sylvie, ce week-end de fête des roses, au bar des fleurs.
Généreusement garnis de produits de qualité, du bon pain, et à un prix très compétitif.
C'est un beau château avec ses jardins entretenus.
Il y a des paons en liberté .
Il y a peu de pièces à visiter dans le château et nous n'avons pas été très emballé par l'intérieur mais il en faut pour tous les goûts .
Possibilité de manger sur place avec 2 restaurants.
Possibilité de dormir aussi car il y a un hôtel.
