Fun and recreational park

Discover scaffolding and lifting machines faithfully reconstituted behind the keep, they show the  construction methods of builders in the year 1000. From the top of the scaffolding you can see the medieval inspired gardens.

Make the most of playgrounds and, for the young and old alike, a 6-storey treehouse built in a majestic cedar several centuries old. The treehouse offers unobstructed views over the park and the ruins of the 11th century chapel.

The promenade, between cedars and sequoias, ends up at the belvedere with a telescope over the Loire, a cultural landscape today listed as world heritage by UNESCO.
