Valencay
Valencay is located to the east of Tours and north of Chateauroux.
The town is best known for the Chateau de Valencay, which attracts many visitors each year and is a highlight in the region. But Valencay has more to offer than the castle, and it is recommended that you take the time to visit the town itself.
A couple of museums in the town include the Musee de l'Automobile (good selection of about 60 fascinating old cars, all of which apparently still work) and the Museum of Art with Sugar (artistic creations made pretty much entirely from sugar).
Valencay is also home to an appelation controlée wine...and an appelation controlée cheese, which is a fine goats cheese. It is of course imperative that you enjoy both when in the town.
The town pays homage to Talleyrand, the revolutionary period politician, who was maire of Valencay in the 1830's, with a guided tour indicating buildings of interest that relate to Talleyrand - those he had constructed etc. such as the town hall and the Maison de Charité (see Valencay tourist office for full details of the route).
