Château de Loches Châteaux de la Loire – UNESCO World Heritage Sites

Encompassing the best and worst of France’s history, from the gracious smile of Agnès Sorel to the horrific cages of Louis XI, Loches is an imposing military fortress that can be explored from top to bottom. Visitors must not however forget to also see the fine medieval town itself, surrounded by ramparts, before heading off to discover the mills of the Indre.   – Michelin Travel : TheGreenGuide
