Guided tour of Château de la Lorie between Angers and Rennes

On the Châteaux de la Loire route, just outside Segré on the Angers-Rennes road, Château de la Lorie opens its doors to visitors from 1 July to the third weekend in September for an exceptional tour of its interiors.

Château de la Lorie is the most northerly of the Loire châteaux. Built during the reign of Louis XIII, it boasts a grand salon made entirely of marble, similar to the decor of princely palaces. Its large gallery, designed by the Marquis de Saint-Genys, houses a fine collection of paintings and antiques. The dining room, designed by the famous architect Camut, was custom-made to accommodate wood panelling from Château de Vitry-sur-Seine.
The château is set in the heart of a French-style park created by landscape architect Edouard André, forming wide esplanades that blend in perfectly with the surrounding countryside.
