View of Ussé castle

Highlight • Castle

On the horizon, when the weather is clear, you can see the silhouette of the Château de Ussé. This fairytale castle has a magical appearance that overlooks the Indre and the Loire. It is so beautiful that it inspired Charles Perrault for his Sleeping Beauty.

Triggered? Drive there and you will end up in a fairytale world.

Young and old, immerse yourself in castle life and the scenes from this fairytale come to life before your eyes. Follow in the footsteps of Vauban, Perrault, Chateaubriand, Le Nôtre and the Blacas family, who still live in this illustrious castle in the Loire Valley.

Ussé Castle

Highlight • Castle

The construction of the Château d'Ussé began in the 15th century. Its architecture is original because it is based on a double inspiration: medieval and Renaissance.

Accompanied by French gardens, a chapel and stables, the Château d'Ussé can be visited all year round.

Saint-Maurice Church of Huismes

Highlight • Religious Site

The parish church of Saint-Maurice and the covered passage connecting it to the residence known as the Deanery and the garden of the former presbytery, located on the site known as Le Bourg.

Historical description
A 12th-century building whose nave was restored in the 19th century and an aisle was added. The west façade is distinguished by the fact that it is connected by a 16th-century covered gallery, which spans the street, to a former manor house opposite, known as the Doyenné. The bell tower consists of a powerful square tower, flanked on the north side by a staircase turret, which is pierced in the floor of the bell tower by two pointed arch bays with double archivolts. This tower rises above the bay forming the choir and is supported by pointed arch arcades, formed by concentric arches of rectangular cross-section, which frame a square bay with ribbed vaults. The capitals are decorated with foliage, hooks, signs or fantastic animals.
