It was a beautiful experience. Eventhough it's tough to have a tour, it's worth though!

3 Towers to climb, a good view of the city and the ticket gives access to the logis royal too.... Must go up the hill, but well worth it

Interesting chateau museum. There are qr codes in each room, which you can scan with your phone to find out the history.

Beautiful castle complex. You have to pay 1 ticket to be able to enter both the Donjon Fortress and the Logis Royal Castle, other than that you can roam around for free around the medieval styled city and garden. The ticket is definitely worth to pay, while exploring the Donjon Fortress they'll give you a tablet called Histopad intstalled with a very interactive application to help you explore the fortress, with Histopad your experience feels like a treasure hunt (good for kids and adventurous people!) Prepare to take a lot of staircases and to walk a lot.

This castle is absolutely worth a visit. Grab a tablet at the entrance to get some extra information on the rooms and locations. It wil give a nice twist to your visit, including a treasure hunt for childeren. Great view over Loches from the tower. Mind your step though! Some of the old staircases are very narrow. Fair price which also includes acces to the kings lodges up ahead.

Phenomenal castle, old city, and royal residence. Just an hour away from Tours on the Rémi bus, a must see for people in the area. You navigate with the histopad, are exposed to helpful signs and guides to direct you, and feel like you're living back in time. Combined best with some reading on mideaval French history.

Fabulous castle and grounds! A lot of climbing around inside. A must see

Very well presented, great tour using the ipads available. The keep isn’t for those afraid of heights!

A visit to the donjon is a must, excellent little museum rich with history, and a great place to escape the heat in the cool cellars.

Beautiful church with detailed carvings on the doorway.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful church, in the style of the city and its constructions in local stone, large nave and a superb altar, note the recumbent statue of Agnès SOREL, it is majestic and located in the upper town. (Original) Belle église, dans le style de la ville et ses constructions en pierre locale, grande nef et un autel superbe, à noter le gisant d'Agnès SOREL, c'est majestueux et situé en ville haute.

A special place, particularly if you have an interest in history

Lovely Church with interesting tombs and stained glass windows, some lovely large paintings too.

Peaceful and beautiful

(Translated by Google) Beautiful Romanesque and Gothic Church. Large number of gargoyles and sculpted figures of animals. For years there has been the marble tomb of the favorite mistress of King Charles VII of France, with whom he had three daughters. The domes from the inside are impressive. I don't know what great architect designed them, but they are certainly a masterpiece of architecture. Very quiet place with a beautiful garden on one side. When I went, it was completely lonely and the feeling of peace was unique. Beautiful and with great serenity. Recommended 100x100 (Original) Preciosa Iglesia románica y gótica. Gran cantidad de gárgolas y figuras esculpidas de animales. Desde hace años se encuentra la tumba de mármol de la amante favorita del rey Carlos VII de Francia, con quien tuvo tres hijas.

Sitio muy tranquilo con un precioso jardín en uno de los laterales. Cuando fui, estaba todo completamente solitario y la sensación de paz fue única. Precioso y con una gran serenidad. Recomendable 100x100

Sorel pour veiller sur ce bâtiment avec un sublime orgue. N'oubliez pas d'aller voir le jardin, la vue y est appaisante

(Translated by Google) I found the Collegiate Church of Saint Ours in the Royal City of Loches moving due to the presence of the recumbent figure of Agnès Sorel, favorite of King Charles VII, the latter having donated a large part of her property to him. The tomb is sumptuous. The alabaster recumbent figure is placed on a slab and a black marble chest, fit for a queen. Nearby, you can also admire a very beautiful statue of Joan of Arc. (Original) J'ai trouvé la Collégiale Saint Ours de la Cité Royale de Loches émouvante de par la présence du gisant d'Agnès Sorel, favorite du roi Charles VII, cette dernière lui ayant fait donation d'une grande partie de ses biens.

Beautiful spot short walk onto town . Market Wed & Sat. Very old town .

Lovely place and two very helpful people assist us, such a beautiful place Loches and a fantastic market on Wednesday's.

I had an excellent contact with th office of tourism and in particular with Rebecca Rocher who has been very helpful , very profesional and very nice. Do not hesitate to contact them for any information Thanks again

Lots of local information available. The people at the desk are very helpful and can speak numerous languages. The free wi-fi is useful for those without a roaming data plan.

Friendly staffed and quite helpful with the local area. Also the 'train' tour was worth the money and there were many translations available with headphones.

Very helpfull and good multi language used

Very knowledgeable and extremely pleasant young lady in there.

(Translated by Google) Artists to discover to believe in beauty. I discovered two extraordinary artists Emmanuel Lansyer and Chemiakin who everything seems to oppose and who in fact complement each other as their desire to assert themselves as alive brings them together. (See the pictures) For €10 in a twin ticket With entry to the royal city plus the dungeon, it was for me 3 hours 30 minutes of visit and discovery for a low price. (Original) Des artistes à découvrir pour croire en la beauté. J'ai découvert deux artistes extraordinaires Emmanuel Lansyer et Chemiakin que tout semble opposer et qui en fait se complètent tant leur volonté de s'affirmer vivants les rassemble.

Above all a landscape painter, a realist, in love with Brittany and in particular Douarnenez, he also travels to the North of France and the South for medical reasons and lives in Paris where he exhibits and sells his works. One of the rare painters who makes a living from his works during his lifetime. (Original) Très belle exposition d'une partie de la collection du peintre Emmanuel Lansyer ayant vécu au second empire.

(Translated by Google) Excellent regional market with selection from local vegetables to cheeses and sausages. The market occupies the entire historical center, and not just a tiny market square. There are only vegetables in the square. And in other places there are many trays up to “buy a mattress for the bedroom.” Some places give the impression that they have been decorated longer than the market has been standing on the square that day. (Original) Отличный региональный рынок с выбором от местных овощей до сыров и колбас. Рынок занимает весь исторический центр, а не просто крохотную рыночную площадь. На площади только овощи. А в иных местах есть множество лотков вплоть до «прикупить матрас в спальню». Некоторые места создают впечатление, что украшали их дольше, чем рынок стоит на площади в этот день.

(Translated by Google) I came to the Tourist Office, the neighborhood appealed to me. I discovered the Saint Antoine tower, the market where I bought freshly picked wild mushrooms and the statue of Alfred de Vigny. (Original) J'étais venu à l'Office de Tourisme, le quartier m'a séduit. J'ai découvert la tour Saint Antoine, le marché ou j'ai acheté des champignons des bois tout juste cueillis et la statue d'Alfred de Vigny.

(Translated by Google) Nice market with serious traders. It’s a shame that accessibility to this market is a little complicated due to the city plan and current development work. (Original) Beau marché avec des commerçants sérieux. Dommage que l'accessibilité à ce marché soit un peu compliquée en raison du plan de la ville et des travaux d'aménagement actuels

(Translated by Google) Ideal place to do your market on Wednesday and Saturday mornings. The fish, particularly at Jean-Luc Delépine, are very fresh. This is very pleasant when you are a little far from the ocean and you love to eat good fish and shellfish. 😉 Wide choice of quality market garden products, good cheeses, pretty flowers, etc... I still have plenty of good places to discover... (Original) Endroit idéal pour faire son marché, le mercredi et le samedi matin. Le poisson notamment chez Jean-Luc Delépine est bien frais.

(Translated by Google) Very nice market and quite a few quality exhibitors (Original) Très beau marché et pas mal d'exposants de qualité

(Translated by Google) Large and beautiful market in this beautiful historic town of Loches. Local products are omnipresent. The market is spread out in the pedestrian streets of the city as well as on the square. Certainly the most beautiful market to see in the surrounding area (from what I have seen) with an exceptional location. A beautiful walk to do absolutely. (Original) Grand et beau marché dans cette belle ville historique de Loches. Les produits locaux sont omniprésents. Le marché s'étale dans les rues piétonnes de la ville ainsi que sur la place. Certainement le plus beau marché à voir dans les environs (de ce que j'ai vu) avec en plus une situation exceptionnelle. Une belle promenade a faire absolument.

The staff treat you very rude and don't speak English. Even in french they remain unhelpful. Don't waste your time trying to make a booking as your appointment is in fact not honored. I travelled from far to attend an expensive treatment but Marion who had earlier answered emails confirming it now claimed never to have answered any emails. Don't waste your money and business in this place as you get treated badly. There are better alternatives around.

(Translated by Google) Despite the know-how of the beauticians, we are very disappointed to have been picked up at 4:40 p.m. and left the massage cabin at 4:59 p.m. for a treatment that is sold for 30 minutes. We had the explanation that the care lasted 30 minutes, the massage 20 minutes. "It's written in the brochure" However, we had a 20-minute treatment and an express massage of 15 minutes at the most. Business practice is bad. It is an observation. Announcing a 20-minute massage would already be more honest. Nevertheless pleasant welcome. (Original) Malgré le savoir faire des esthéticiennes nous sommes très déçus d’avoir été pris en charge à 16h40 et sortit de la cabine de massage à 16h59 pour un soin qui est vendu pour 30 minutes. Nous avons eu l’explication que la prise en charge durait 30 minutes, le massage 20 minutes. « C’est écrit dans la brochure » Pourtant nous avons eu une prise en charge de 20 minutes et un massage express de 15 minutes au grand maximum. La pratique commerciale est mauvaise. C’est un constat. Annoncer un massage de 20 minutes serait déjà plus honnête. Néanmoins accueil agréable.

(Translated by Google) Good welcome, nice staff however we were not warned that there would be so many people with us. So there were about ten of us sharing the sauna and hammam pool area. We had to queue to go to the sauna and the steam room… Noted that we were asked to take our own slippers and towels. We left after 30 minutes. (Original) Bon accueil, gentil personnel cependant nous n’avons pas été prévenu qu’il y aurai autant de monde avec nous. Nous étions donc une dizaine à se partager le coin piscine sauna et hammam. Nous devions faire la queue pour aller dans le sauna et le hamman…A noté qu’il nous a été demandé de prendre nos propres claquettes et serviettes. Nous sommes partis au bout de 30 minutes.

(Translated by Google) Pleasant moment spent in love; the staff is very friendly, the duo massage really great! (A small star less for the swimming pool which would deserve a little refreshment; but we would have preferred to put 4.5 because it in no way spoils this good moment). (Original) Agréable moment passé en amoureux ; le personnel est très sympathique, le massage en duo vraiment super ! (Une petite étoile en moins pour la piscine qui mériterait un petit rafraîchissement ; mais on aurait préféré mettre 4,5 car cela ne gâche en rien ce bon moment).

(Translated by Google) Birthday present for my partner. I took the same presentation and we came away relaxed. We tried the Phytomer Balneo Ritual: we validate The staff is very kind and smiling.

(Translated by Google) Very nice visit to an artisanal confectionery in Loches. It's quick but effective, and ideal with young children. We visited it with our 5 year old granddaughter, who enjoyed it! We start with a film on the origin and preparation of the sugar used, then we move into the workshop, where the young boss clearly and playfully explains the making of lollipops and other sweets, before offering to adult volunteers and children to make their own lollipop, which they then take with them with pleasure! And finally, a visit to the store pleasantly ends the visit! Please note: staff like the boss, warm and smiling. We are already planning to go back with our 6 year old grandson this week. (Original) Visite très sympathique d'une confiserie artisanale, à Loches. C'est rapide mais efficace, et idéal avec de jeunes enfants. Nous l'avons visitée avec notre petite-fille de 5 ans, qui a apprécié ! On commence par un film sur l'origine et la préparation du sucre utilisé, puis on passe dans l'atelier, où le jeune patron explique clairement et de façon ludique la fabrication des sucettes et autres berlingots, avant de proposer aux adultes volontaires et aux enfants de fabriquer leur propre sucette, qu'ils emportent ensuite avec plaisir ! Et enfin, un passage dans la boutique clôt agréablement la visite ! A noter : un personnel à l'image du patron, chaleureux et souriant. Nous avons déjà prévu d'y retourner avec notre petit-fils de 6 ans cette semaine.

(Translated by Google) Paradise on Earth !!! fruit jellies, marshmallows, roudoudou, caramelized hazelnuts, pralines, .... a multitude of wonders and sweets. Everything is excellent.

Can't wait to go back (Original) Le Paradis sur terre !!! pâtes de fruits, guimauves, roudoudou, noisettes caramélisées, pralines, ....une multitude de merveilles et de douceurs. Tout est excellent.

This campsite is ideally suited for visiting loches, a beautiful town on the river Indres. Unfortunately in the 4 years we have been away it's gone really downhill. They are putting up lots more static homes and reducing the numbers of pitches for vans and tents. The showers are freezing, it's got piles of wood everywhere, the facilities are really poor, no Wi-Fi...such a shame as it was fantastic and now is awful.

We stayed here in 2020 amidst the pandemic and it seemed far better then. The staff were really welcoming and very helpful as before but the facilities, other than the swimming pool area, felt rundown and in need of some repair and upgrading. The WiFi which was available across the whole site before is now limited to the reception area. However, our pitch was lovely, very spacious and with the requested shade. The saddest part is that despite it being quite busy for June, the takeaway/café remains closed until the 1st July, even at weekends which is a real shame and lets it down.

Unfortunately This campsite has deteriorated since we were here the last time 2019 More lodges that have taken over pitches The main showers were out of action and the showers at the reception were luke warm or freezing cold builders rubbish everywhereWe will not be back again Such a shame it was a lovely campsite before .

This site could be so much better . There’s no doubt it’s location is the overriding factor being a 10 min walk into beautiful Loches but that’s where it ends We booked a premium emplacement to give us a private toilet n shower as we’ve been on the road a while . While the actual facilities were spotless and I think new the pitch was appalling- a muddy small corner , infact pitches 7-15 are tiny . Pitches 2-6 are so much better and with a lovely view but facilities are older so not sure why the site doesn’t spruce these up . I hate to think how crammed 7-15 would be when full The whole site is scruffy with overgrown weedy pitches , and needs a good mowing and weeding A shame as it could be lovely it just looks and feels unloved . Lady on reception was lovely This has been the worst site of our trip so far

This place really isn't for bikers with tents and it shows. The price is really off-putting for what you get - sub-par toilets with okay pitches. Overall nothing was bad there, but for the price and the rating we expected a lot more. Maybe we just didn't experience it right.

Stayed her a few days ago. It's lovely. We asked for one night and stayed 3 Pool is lovely, warm too Supermarket up the road Village very close Staff friendly Will stay again

We last visited in 2019 and the site has changed a lot, I think we would call it progress. It has changed from being a predominantly touring site to a more chalet site - lots of big timber cabins, safari tents, mobile homes etc. There are still some touring pitches but, I fear they will eventually be gone. The two pools, which were spotless in 2019, are not as clean or as filtered as they were. The showers could be cleaner, there are less of them, a number near the pool are now closed, and the pool water is hotter (it appears to be just cold water). The grass hadn't been cut and the hedges needed trimming. However, the young girl on reception was very friendly and helpful+ you get free wi-fi for one appliance. Will we go back, it is doubtful, I think the work they have going on is enough for us to find another location.

Scruffy Review of Camping la Citadelle Reviewed June 9, 2022 Some say you should never go back……. However, sometimes you’re pleased you did, and sometimes you wish you hadn’t! This experience belongs in the second category. In 45 years of caravanning in France this is only the second time I have felt disposed to declare my disappointment in writing. I hope that indicates the seriousness of my comments. When I telephoned to reserve a pitch at la Citadelle Loches, my inquiry was greeted with warmth. Sadly, when we arrived that person was not on duty and the reception we received from the two people on duty was cool. We first stayed at Camping la Citadelle in 1998. We stayed again in 2002. Because we had fond memories of our previous visits, we thought it would be nice to go back again. It wasn’t. Having set up the caravan we decided to walk around and see how it had changed. Well, the word that sums up the overall impression is – scruffy. Doors to the facilities propped open with broken pieces of paving slab. No hooks for clothes/towels near men’s basins. One of the washing -up basins had no waste pipe attached - so if you used that basin you soon discovered your feet were getting wet – this happened to me! Waste bin area was untidy and some bins overflowing. The entrance to this area is uneven and very stony, and hazardous to anyone who has difficulty walking. The hot...More Date of stay: May 2022

Great family holiday. We stayed for 10 nights at this campsite which suited us perfectly. Location was perfect within walking distance to the town and easy access to beautiful loire valley sightseeing. The pool was perfect for our small children and while we didn't need to use it there was a large indoor pool also. Pitch no 27 was perfect, spacious and sunny. Places goes very quite from 10pm onwards which was also fine for us but may not suit everyone. Toilets and showers spotlessly clean. All in all we had a lovely holiday and would highly recommend this campsite. We will return.

Sadly, it’s a bit disappointing. It has all the activities and whatnot but is not up to par cleanliness wise in my opinion. The sanitary blocks were pretty dirty - with that many people coming in and out it really should be cleaned a few times a day.

Constitué par les dons des napolitains sur plus de 7 siècles pour le st patron protecteur de Naples: St Gennaro.

This is a very small swimming pool comparing to what i have seen and visited The interesting thing is a small pool outside with a natural grass and vegetation But,for ne it was a little bit unpleasant at the entrance They have a rule that you have to undress before entering the outside pool and I wanted just to be outside with my kids. I was not informed before paying, or before entering the closed pool area. I was in a stupid position and they were kind of strict and... We managed somehow but I felt ashamed and got very stressed

Excellent swimming pool. Lovely situated on top of the hill and the natural springs gives a natural feeling. The exits are difficult to find.

Good but some of the coaches are not very nice. The pool is great but it has its flaws.

Wonderful pool the staff are really friendly great place to take your family

Great visit with the kids! The outside pool is lovely!

Interesting natural outdoor pool - needed in this heat today

Nice place for family time.

(Translated by Google) Another small church where one feels good as the restoration has given the building this welcoming side suitable for prayer or meditation. This 19th century building, converted from the refectory and dormitory of the Ursuline convent created at the beginning of the 17th century, seemed very successful to me. It was registered by the M.H. in 2006. Rather agnostic, what I am certain of is that at the time of its creation, I would have loved to take refuge in this place, such a joyful perfection emanates from this little church. Thank you to all these people who preserve these kinds of places, precious witnesses of history. (Original) Encore une petite église ou l'on se sent bien tant la restauration a donné à l'édifice ce côté accueillant propre à la prière ou à la méditation. Cet édifice du 19ème siècle, aménagé à partir des réfectoire et dortoir du couvent des Ursulines créé au début du 17ème siècle m'a semblé très réussi. Il a été inscrit par les M.H. en 2006. Plutôt agnostique, ce dont je suis certain, c'est qu'à l'époque de sa réalisation, j'aurai adoré me réfugier à cet endroit, tant il émane de cette petite église une perfection joyeuse. Merci à tous ces gens qui préservent ce genre de lieux, précieux témoins de l'histoire.
