Overview
The Chateau d'Azay-le-Rideau was built on an island in the Indre River during the reign of Francis I. It does represent a very subtle blend of French tradition and innovative Italian decor. This castle is an icon of the new art of building in the Loire Valley in the 16th century. Its successive owners have helped to make it the most architecturally harmonious treasure in the Loire Valley. In 1905, the Château d’Azay-le-Rideau came under State ownership.
A major restoration project was undertaken these last year and has fully restored the slate roofing and repair the remarkable early 16th century framework. Your ticket allows you direct entry to this wonderful Renaissance castle.

What To Expect
Chateau of Azay-le-Rideau
Make your own way to the Château d'Azay in the Loire Valley and use your pre-paid ticket. Once inside, set out on a self-guided tour and spend as long as you like exploring the magnificent castle. The Château d'Azay is considered as one of the foremost examples of French Renaissance architecture. While both wings were built in the early years of the 16th century, the castle took on its final shape in the 19th century. In this respect, Azay-le-Rideau can be enjoyed as both a jewel of the Renaissance and as a representative example of the 19th century 's taste for Renaissance art.
