About this place:
Chissay-en-Touraine is a commune in the Indre department in central France. The town is located on the Cher River, at an altitude of about 140 meters and about an hour and a half southwest of Paris. It has around 500 inhabitants and covers 8 km2 (3 sq mi). Chissay was founded by monks during the 12th century and its name comes from “château” or “castle”.
Chissay is known as “the most beautiful village” in Touraine! The castle was built on the medieval site occupied by two earlier castles that were destroyed during the Hundred Years War (1337–1453). Louis XI gave land to Gaspard de Saulx La Roussière who began construction around 1460. It lies between two small rivers: Thironne and Athis on their confluence within this commune at the southern border with Broussy-le Château to its north. Built with pink bricks imported from England this imposing fortress has three towers connected by high stone walls which enclose a large courtyard surrounded by ramparts.
