Audio-guide

1
This astonishing chinoiserie style pagoda was built in 1775 on the banks of the Loire! Climb the 149 steps to enjoy the breathtaking view of the valley and the Amboise forest. The Petit pavillon du concierge houses a museum that details the history of the site and a virtual reconstruction of the Duke de Choiseul’s demolished castle. In the 14-hectare park, you can enjoy a boat ride and traditional games.

La Pagode de Chanteloup: an 18th-century “folly” built by the Duke of Choiseul in 1775. At the edge of Amboise Forest and in the heart of a 14-hectare landscaped park stands a chinoiserie in the pure Louis XVI style. 44 metres high, its summit offers a view over the Loire Valley. Inside, a virtual reconstruction takes visitors back to the heyday of Château de Chanteloup, destroyed in 1823. The Fû Hsi garden, its oriental trees and its chinoiseries are ideal for meditation.
