Montbazon

Tucked along the Indre River in Touraine, Montbazon is a town whose character is shaped by the low, wooded valley extending south from Tours. Above its historic centre rises the Château de Montbazon, whose massive keep dates from the early 11th century and is associated with Fulk Nerra, Count of Anjou. The fortress recalls the medieval contest for control of Touraine between the powers of Anjou and Blois. As the Indre is a tributary of the Loire, Montbazon belongs to the wider Loire Valley cultural landscape, with Touraine’s wine and market traditions close at hand.
