 Langeais And Azay-le-rideau
This afternoon Langeais and Azay-le-Rideau are beckoning us, although we were tempted to stop for a nearer view of the strange Pile de Cinq Mars, which is, we are told, an unsolved architectural puzzle.
At a first glance we were as much interested in the little gray town of Langeais, which is charmingly situated on the right bank of the Loire, as in the château itself, whose façade is gloomy and austere, a true mediaeval fortress, "with moat, drawbridge, and portcullis still in working order," as Walter expresses it.
The bride, accompanied by a distinguished suite, is described, as she arrived at the château upon her palfrey, wearing a rich travelling costume of cloth and velvet, trimmed with one hundred and thirty-nine sable skins.

 France - Langeais
AN old castle is Langeais, with dark memories of that same Foulques Nerra who rendered himself so notorious at Loches by the murder of his wife.
He had been made Sire de Langeais, and was a great Court favourite when the King, Philippe le Hardi, having lost his first wife, Isabelle of Aragon, married the beautiful and fascinating Marie de Brabant.
From the beginning she and the favourite were at daggers drawn, and when Louis, the eldest of her step-sons, died two years after her marriage, Pierre de la Broce caused it to be whispered abroad that the Queen had had him poisoned.

 The Duchesse de Langeais   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
The Duchesse de Langeais (for that was her name) had been married for about four years when the Restoration was finally consummated, which is to say, in 1816.
In 1818, M. le Duc de Langeais commanded a division of the army, and the Duchess held a post about one of the Princesses, in virtue of which she was free to live in Paris and apart from her husband without scandal.
The Duchesse de Langeais, realising that a fleeting glory was to be won by such a conquest, made up her mind to gain a lover in Armand de Montriveau during the brief interval before the Duchesse de Maufrigneuse brought him to be introduced.
