Step into one of the Loire Valley's best-kept secrets at Château de Gizeux, a privately owned castle continuously inhabited by the same family since 1786. The visit reveals two extraordinary painted galleries: the Galerie François Ier with Italian Renaissance frescoes inspired by Ovid's Metamorphoses, and the 400-square-metre Galerie des Châteaux depicting fourteen royal castles of France. After exploring the interiors with an audioguide or guided tour, wander through the park, the orangerie tearoom, and the carriage exhibition on the Grande Terrasse. The castle is open from early April to early November only, and children can follow dedicated treasure hunts through the grounds.
