So many castles here, public or private, small or big, if you want to visit, you are spoiled for choice.
This is a private big one.
Brissac is a family owned chateau, owned by the same family since 26 May 1502, date of purchase of the domain of Brissac by René de Cossé, a gentleman from Angers. His descendants, the Marquis and the Marquise still live in the Chateau with their four children.
Let’s look at its outside first.

This 16 century castle was most of time managed by women, it still is.
Chenonceau is the only castle in the Loire Valley not classified in the world patrimony of UNESCO, and doesn’t receive any subsidy, the most visited castle in the Loire Valley, it’s private.
