Cité Royale de Loches

Top choice in Touraine


Loches’ vast hilltop citadel is the size of a small town – a few lucky people even live here! Inside you can visit the Logis Royal and the Donjon et Cachots – the same ticket is good for both – and a Romanesque church. The ensemble is great for kids who are into knights, castles and dungeons.
