Chateau de Valencay
The central pavilion tower of Chateau de Valencay is the crowning jewel of Renaissance architecture in France. Empire styles of Louis XVI combine with Regency styles to create a harmonious overall style of luxury. At Emperor Napoleon's request, the builder Talleyrand built the "Little Theater" designed to entertain the Princess of Spain. Stroll along with an English-speaking tour guide who will finish your trip in the West Wing basement where the old kitchen, pantry, and cellar still exist. Plan trip to Valencay with our itinerary maker to find out where to go and what to do.

The best was the little farm with the goats and peacocks. The kids loved it.
