Of the 303 castles we list in Indre-et-Loire, these 120 have a building campaign from this period, according to the French Ministry of Culture's records.

We record 120 castles, manor houses and strongholds from the Middle Ages, spread across 97 towns and villages. The ones with the most visitor reviews are Domaine de Chenonceau (open to visitors), Château d'Ussé (Ussé Castle) (a listed historic monument), Château de Gizeux (Gizeux Castle) (with a restaurant), Château de Valesne (Valesne Castle) (you can stay the night) and Château Vieux de Candes (on the historic monuments register).

25 of them receive visitors, according to their official website or their business listing. We have checked the opening hours of 19 and the prices of 13 of them, and each entry shows the date of that check. 27 of them are listed historic monuments, the highest level of protection in French heritage law. The dominant period is the Middle Ages, with 120 buildings. Each entry says what we could verify and what still needs confirming: enough to plan a day that holds together.
