château de montpoupon印象
-
We chanced upon this lovely chateau while ona drive back to the hotel--really worth the detour as they say.

This is an imposing chateau that sits on the very edge of a public road. The reason for its placement,is that it stands guard over the royal route to Spain. The oldest element here is the tall, circular donjon at the western end complete with a walk-walk and machicolations. But what is particularly striking is the height of the four generous stories of accommodation including the dormers in the roof. I think its richly picturesque with a range of large and small conically-capped towers and handsome chimney stacks. To the left of the entrance survives one of the original circular towers that sits in the battlemented wall. Exquisite pleasure to not have crowds to distil the quiet reflection and wonderful images.

If you are interested in field sports visit here. The museum is full of the most interesting exhibits and I was blown away by the sheer mass of very varied exhibits all well displayed and described in English too.

Small, lovely Chateau! Surrounded by wonderful landscape, not overcrowded, a lot to see as the castle is fully equipped!

Had a three course lunch at the "Auberge" restaurant in sight of Chateau Montpoupon Extremely good value and very, very, delicious. I would thoroughly recommend this eatery to all

The castle is a little less known, and a little younger than some of the other castles in the loire valley. Despite that, it has a beautifully preserved rooms. We were especially charmed by the study. You are free to walk inside and around the premise and there is even a forest walk with a quiz for the children. The only downside I could find was the audio played in every room. It's in french and, for us, unnecessary since we received a description of every room in our language at the entrance.

This lovely little chateau feels like a family - you or me - could live in it. The scale is lovely. The rooms have been carefully furnished. We especially liked the kitchen, with all of its copper pots. The equestrian-related exhibits were fun.All in all, one of the nicer Loire chateaux.

Our family were renting a gite about 15 miles away, I visited this on my own as husband and kids were suffering from Chateau Overload (how can you see too many chateaux I cried?!) It was terrific, I loved how it is just suddenly there, at the side of the road as someone else mentioned. The interior is lovely, mostly written up in French with French recorded descriptions but enough info in English to explain each room. Classical music playing gently through loudspeakers in the grounds was a lovely touch, very atmospheric I thought!There is a woodland walk which looked lovely but it was a very hot day so I didn't use itOutside there is a very thorough and detailed museum set out amongst the stables and outbuildings, about hunting and the ancestral family`s interest in it - not something I am interested in but I can understand that to the aristocracy in years gone by this was an all consuming activity and the amount of personal memorabilia is impressive - they must have kept every pair of boots and riding jacket that was ever worn over the years. Lots of antlers and trophy heads of animals, again not my cup of tea but it shows how integral It was to the lifestyle of these peopleMost definitely worth a visit if you are in the general area

It was lovely but absolutely dominated by hunting! I would have liked to see some horses and hounds. Really stunning chateau and surroundings

When I drove through this area, suddenly I noticed this chateau appeared in the end of the road curves.It does looks stunning from the road and it is enough to make me stop and decided to come inside after taking a lot of pictures from outside.Inside there is really nothing special, it is even flat to be honest comparable to other chateaus in Loire.I can see that for sure the owner of this chateau really likes to hunt a lot, because in one of the building there are many pictures of his hunting dogs.The free parking is available if needed for personal car.
