In a protected setting, 20 minutes from Tours, the Domaine de Candé invites you to discover a Castle with a daring layout, inviting you to stroll in the heart of 230-hectare grounds classified as a sensitive natural area, with a vegetable garden, a forest and ponds.

Two of them equipped it with extremely modern amenities for its time: huge kitchens on two levels; ultramodern bathrooms; a thousand square meters of cellars equipped with the latest presses; a Bell telephone exchange; a fitness room with equipment worthy of the Titanic; and a monumental Skinner organ, the only one in Europe.
