Very near us (just 9km) and one of the Loire's lesser-known château - which makes it all the more lovely. Said to have inspired the tale of Sleeping Beauty. Have lunch in Huismes on the way to it. For more info on our local hamlet, visit our website, here: www.lafuye.com/huismes

Inspiration for Sleeping beauty. Mannequins depict the story in the stunning towers and gorgeous views from and to the gardens.

The current chateau sits on the site of an 11th century fortification that was destroyed paving the way for the 15th - 16th century castle that you can see today.

The castle that inspired Disney’s sleeping beauty castle. The sleeping beauty story has been brought to life throughout the castle turrets, attics and rooms.
