CHÂTEAU DU RIVAU

10km from Chinon, the Rivau surprises with its original approach and sense of humour. Far from a traditional château visit, here, all your senses are wide awake: 500 varieties of scented roses, an extraordinary vegetable garden, monumental works in the gardens, a new contemporary art exhibition at the château every year, as well as two restaurants. You’ll struggle to leave the place, that's for sure.
