The town has been conceived and built by the Cardianl de Richelieu. Very interesting guided tour of the town including a 3d movie of the Cardinal�s castle. Lots of famous castles to visit like Chinon, Azay le Rideau, Langeais etc�. Not to forget the Royal Abbey of Fontevraud, the vineyards of Bourgueil and the Futuroscope Amusement Park.
