experience.<br\/>It is also sometimes listed as Montsoreau.<br\/>The 2 villages are actually right next to each other: the charming village is Candes, but the famous ch\u00e2teau on the banks of the Loire is in Montsoreau.<br\/>The village lies at the confluence of the Vienne and Loire rivers, a strategic location that has enabled it to develop as a river port.<br\/>Here, we love the many tufa stone houses, typical of the region, and we're sure you'll be surprised by the church facade!<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><div class=\"wpcp-wp-lightbox-host
