Travel Guide Chissay-En-Touraine

We come mainly to Chissay-en-Touraine for his eponymous castle which was, during the Second World War, the temporary residence of the president of Paul Reynaud and his cabinet. In fact, faced with the German army's sharp progress in 1940, this fallback solution was adopted by the French Government. In the big lounge, there are political and military conferences. We see General Weygand, the ambassador of Great Britain and ministers who remain in liaison with the President of the Republic residing in Cangé castle, 30 km away. On 12 June, General de Gaulle arrived in Chissay to present to Paul Raynaud his Franco-British union project to deal with the enemy. The fate of France was taken in hand… Since 1986, this magnificent manor house has become a refined hotel resort where you can enjoy the beauty and the sweetness of life. If you want to stay there, you can admire the Renaissance buildings by far…
