There are many good reasons to visit the Château de Montreuil-Bellay, its thousand-year history, its architecture, its wines, too, but, above all, do not fail to let yourself be guided on an unusual visit, full of history...
The kitchen of the Château de Montreuil-Bellay....
And yes, it's strange, we show you the kitchen! But it must also be said that it is a truly essential piece! The impressive central foyer, and the equally impressive collection of brass immediately takes you back to the time of medieval banquets and feasts! And one can easily imagine the parade of small pages, which, at the tail-leu-leu, arrive each carrying a dish where there is, there, a whole little pig, there, a pheasant still decorated with its feathers!
The dining room, the duchess' bedroom....
In the dining room, sublime, it is the feats and feats of Marshal Lobeau, one of Napoleon's close companions, who will be told to you.
And then, change of atmosphere, with the sweetness of the room of the Duchess of Orléans, cousin of King Louis XIII, a sweetness that does not prevent her from being a rebel with the Grand Condé!
Queen Margot, the music room...
It is in the living room, with its magnificent tapestries, that you will admire some rare pieces, including, for example, the travel chest of the legendary Queen Margot! And the music room! An incredible chandelier, made of Venice crystal, sparks there...
Le Thouet, the wines....
Outside, it is another discovery, that of the gardens hanging above the Thouet, so peaceful, from where you can see the 16 hectares of vines of the château. Cabernet Franc, Chenin, and Chardonnay offer you their character and silkiness... since the 15th century!
