Greeted by His Majesty herself, you will discover the banquet hall where power relations were played out at the table or in the king’s retreat, the dressing room where his wealth was spread out, the king’s room reserved for the intimate, the chapel and the evocation of the True Cross, the staircase of honor to access the attic left in the raw state, a projection room to deepen your knowledge of the castle, its giant knight dressed for the tournament, the forest recalling the nature dear to the heart of King René, the magnificent palm-tree vault...

About the location

Château de Baugé
Place de l'Europe, 49150 Baugé
  • Maine-et-Loire
  • Pays de la Loire
In the walled enclosure of a castle with a primitive motte, a residential dwelling is rebuilt in several phases between 1430 and 1455 by Yolande d'Aragon, then by his son René d'Anjou, known as «King René». Used by the Governors of the city between XVI° and XVIII°, it is then deeply reworked inside for administrative use. The façade clearly displays the characteristics of a 15th-century boathouse: an irregular layout, passing dormers with hooks at the roof level, an octagonal tower projecting on the façade, and mullioned bays framed with tuffeau; disappearance of any military element in the architecture.
