For today's Loire Valley chateau we are actually heading nearly 500 km south to Chateau de Boutheon in Andrézieux Bouthéon in the Loire department of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region. The chateau sits high above the river Loire which has already taken just under 100km of its journey from its source to get here.
We had noticed the chateau from the autoroute on a number of trips south but this time decided to have a closer look. Nowadays it is mainly used as exhibition space plus has large grounds with an animal park and as we were en-route to our destination we only gave it a cursory look from the outside.
