	Château de Langeais (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		On a high terrace on the Loire's north bank in the middle of LANGEAIS, the forbidding Château de Langeais (daily: April to mid-July, Sept & Oct 9.30am–6.30pm; mid-July to Aug 9.30am–8pm; Nov–March 10am–5.30pm; €6.50) was built to stop any incursions up the Loire by the Bretons.
		This threat ended with the marriage of Charles VIII and Duchess Anne of Brittany in 1491, which was celebrated in the castle, and a diptych of the couple portrays them looking less than joyous at their union – Anne had little choice in giving up her independence.
		There are fascinating tapestries, some rare paintings, cots and beds, a number of chaires, or seigneurial chairs, and in the huge marriage chamber, the gilded and bejewelled wedding coffer of Charles and Anne, carved with a miniature scene of the Annunciation and figures of the apostles, the wise and foolish virgins depicted on the lid.

		The chateau turns almost into a charming place, at least liveable, when you enter at the garden side.
		But what makes the crowds (and myself included) go and run to see that castle are the different defence dispositions like the grating and gnashing drawbridge with its chains and the interior decoration of the 15th century (date of the building of the castle) and 16th century.
		At the end of a garden, buried in greenery and bushes, the ruins of a square dungeon (which I mentioned at the beginning of this article) edified in the 10th century by Foulques Nerra.
