The royal fortress of Chinon

The royal fortress of Chinon is located in the Centre Val de Loire region. This fortress overlooking the town was built by the Count of Blois Tebaldo I; it evokes the time when the history of France and that of England were closely intermingled. In 1429, the historic meeting of Joan of Arc with the Dauphin, the future Charles VII, took place in the spacious hall of the house.
