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 in the heart of the château, at chef Andrea Modesto's table, where he prepares gourmet cuisine using produce from the kitchen garden. The flower bar in the gardens offers tastings of drinks made from aromatic plants and flowers. Le Rivau also has 12 bedrooms, so you can enjoy the life of a château, between authenticity and 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!

In addition to the gardens, I popular all the irony that there was in the rooms of the castle.
What is wonderful in Rivau, it is the permanent surprises. At each bend of way, you will discover an innovation!
