Spend a leisurely morning exploring the Château de Langeais, where a stern medieval fortress conceals an elegant late-Gothic residence filled with 16 period-furnished rooms, original tapestries, and a wax scene recreating the secret 1491 wedding of Charles VIII and Anne of Brittany. In the surrounding park, climb around the ruins of Foulques Nerra's 10th-century stone keep — one of France's oldest — before strolling through the Renaissance gardens. The castle is open year-round, but hours vary by season; arrive by 09:30 in summer or 10:00 in winter, and note that last admission is one hour before closing.
