Thursday's 'taken in Touraine'...Château du Rivau.

Château du Rivau in Touraine surrounded by trees and gardens beneath a bright blue summer sky in the Loire Valley.Part fairytale fortress, part Renaissance residence, the Château du Rivau rises somewhat unexpectedly from the Touraine countryside near the village of Lémeré.

Today the château is famous for its remarkable child friendly gardens, especially its roses. On the 6th and 7th of June, the annual Rose Festival returns, when the gardens are at their most colourful and fragrant, drawing visitors from across the Loire Valley and beyond.

A visit back in 2022...

“In Touraine, even the silence tells a story.”

Part of the “Taken in Touraine” Series

Every Thursday, we pause somewhere in Touraine — a village, a vineyard, or a quiet riverside — to capture the spirit of this timeless Loire region.
