Although we didn't really like the fact it was a guided tour in French we loved the extensive grounds and with the guide sheet the castle was really interesting.

We stopped to see Chateau de Brissac on the way from Saumur to Normandy. It was just perfect: we had such a wonderful tour guide who spoke perfect English and told us about the history of the Chateau and about its present owners. This chateau even has a theater: an Opera House built for Marchioness of Brissac who had a good voice herself. The grounds of the Chateau are gorgeous; they have their own 500 year old vineyard and a wine cellar where we purchased a couple of bottles of their whites and reds. Parking is available and is located close to the Chateau. The tours are guided only and run every 2 hours, if I am not wrong. Do not miss this amazing castle!

Upon arriving we were greeted by a very helpful girl, she understood our attempt at ordering tickets, asking us where we were from and informing us that that we could only gain access into the château by going on the guided tour, which was 1.15 - the only English one they did during the day. We wandered around the beautiful gardens and also visited the subterranean canal - very unusual and quirky. (apparently picnics are not permitted) not a problem for us as we visited the tearoom. It sold tarts, quiches and cake which was labelled in french and English. The girl serving us was very unfriendly and very unhelpful, we asked for tea, coffee and some pear tarts. She didn't offer us and milk, napkins or forks to eat our tarts with, only giving us teaspoons.(these items should have been given to us automatically) When asked for all this she pretended she had no idea what we were talking about! In the end we ate using our teaspoons as she was being so bloody rude! At the end of the day she's working in a cafe and should not think herself above anyone else! That said, our time arrived for our guided tour - the very friendly and enthusiastic girl started by telling us all about the history of the building etc...she was brilliant and we found it very interesting. There were a few children on the tour and as we visited different rooms she asked the children if they could see various things etc...so our 11 year old Son enjoyed it too. The château is beautiful and stunning and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit - shame about the sulky upstart in the tearoom!

The "veuve Clicquot" lived here! A very interesting castle with the possibility of a tour with an english speaking guide

we didn't expect much but it was a pleasent surpise. We were in time for the english tour of 1:15 pm. (just once a day, rest is just in French). i made a walk around the park, baby slept the whole walk because of the bumby rouds, so that was great. the tour was in sufficient english and well worth it. just go there, there is enough history and great stories. only downside was that we couldn't bring the buggy into the castle, so we had to carry our baby. o, and the cafe has great pies!

It is not so well known as others but it worths a visit. Nice location, gardens, etc.We combined this visit with another chateau (Chateau de Serrant) nearby.Also a good choice although we preferred Brissac

This is a 'mother' of a structure,towering over the low-lying fields and vineyards,its massive height accented by steep roofs and a forest of slender towers. To me,the classic facade sandwiched between two massive medieval towers speaks more splendidly of continuing ancestral domain,then any other chateau in the Loire. Everywhere,the carvings are astonishingly rich: coats of arms,military trophies,swags,garlands,cartouches. ( I think,i used up nearly my entire repertoire of architectural words,in that sentence). We walked around and viewed the chateau from the park before entering this most atmospheric 17th century structure,as complete as any around the globe. Sheer magnificence. Stone door- case carvings bear the coat of arms,regally. I liked the grand salon for its sumptuousness ,bearing huge armoires and richly sculpted and gilded with the Gobelin tapestries a stand-out attraction. Bedrooms,dining room and music room are beautiful with the ancient well-worn floors giving a wonderful feel of authenticity. The tour of Brissac had an unexpected climax.... the magnificent theatre on the second floor.... dont miss it!!.

Surrounded by the vineyards and large parkland, this 16th century castle was built by the first Lord of Brissac, Renee de Cosse.The façade with it's huge towers and fortified bases makes this the tallest castle in France. The castle contains it's own vineyard which makes fine Light Rose wine. The castle thru-out all those centuries always stayed in the same family. The current owner, the 13th Duke of Brissac along with his family resides in the castle.
