Château d'Ussé
The Château d'Ussé overlooks the Indre River, built by Charles
VII in the mid-15th century. The fairytale castle passed through
the hands of many nobles, and was said to have inspired Charles
Perrault to write the story of Sleeping Beauty. It subsequently
inspired Walt Disney in the design of his iconic castles in the
Disney logo and at several theme parks. Only parts of the house are
open to the public, but you can also wander the gardens, stables,
chapel and limestone caves.
