Built in the 13th century, the Château de Meung-sur-Loire was the prestigious residence of the bishops of Orléans until the French Revolution. You’ll be amazed by a visit dedicated to everyday life: more than 20 furnished rooms, 2,000 objects in action and an odorama trail await you for a real immersion into the heart of castle life! Your visit will take you from the superb attic to the dark underground passageways, from the magnificent neoclassical chapel to the 18th-century bathrooms. Follow in the footsteps of Louix XI, François I, Joan of Arc and the poet François Villon, who lived in the château’s prisons…
