France Château Royal de Chinon
If you want to immerse yourself in the history of France and England then a visit to the mighty Royal Fortress at Chinon is a good place to start your journey.
On March 8, 1429 Joan of Arc came here to persuade Charles VII that it was possible to change the fortunes in favour of the French during the Hundred Years War. The meeting with Joan of Arc at the castle is considered to be the turning point in the fortunes of France in medieval times: the meeting resulted in the King retaking Orléans and subsequently removing the English from France.
