Talcy Castle
A singular history for this château, built as a farming estate in the heart of the Petite Beauce region (north of Blois). In a style somewhere between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, the Salviati family is no stranger to this style, given its origins. You’ll also love this château for its connection to literature: the Salviati daughter made herself famous with Ronsard’s poem “Ode à Cassandre”. The various owners who have left their mark on the château have also been strong personalities.
You’ll love the romantic feel of the place, both in its decoration and its gardens.
Our advice: take the guided tour to understand the life of the place over the centuries and its owners.
