Rue Xavier Branicki sits beneath the walls of Château de Montrésor, with houses seemingly untouched by passing time, giving this small village its historic character.
Xavier Branicki was a wealthy Polish count and friend of Napoleon III who bought the château in 1849. He restored it and helped shape much of the village as it is seen today, including the streets around the castle.
Montrésor is deservedly listed as one of the 'Les-Plus-Beaux-Villages-de-France' and is one of Touraine’s most picturesque.
