Indeed it was at Chinon Castle that Joan of Arc met her king, Charles VII. To learn more about the life of a sailor stop off at the River House. Here you will find model boats, an aquarium and an audio-visual presentation that unveils local life on the river. Let yourself be taken back into history, board a "futreau" and float along the River Vienne or if you prefer wander through the old town, among the half-timbered houses. Chinon is host to the 2nd Brotherhood of France, that of the Good Rabelaisian Knights. They hold four chapter ceremonies each year to enrol new knights. Enjoy the fun and festivities of this "Town of Art and History".
