THE GROUNDS

In the 18th century, the Count of Tristan, who owned Montpoupon at the time, decided to have gardens built on the castle’s grounds. In 1773, he was presented with the formal plan, which he accepted. Restoration work on the grounds started in 1786, but was interrupted by the French Revolution.

In 2006, extensive renovations were undertaken to re-dig the stream’s bed, which had been filled up in the 19th century. The lawn is now cut at different levels to evoke the outlines of old gardens.

Midway though the forest path, a square pond reflects the castle.

THE FOREST WALK

Take a stroll in the forest, where local fauna and flora abound, look for animal tracks and silhouettes, and many varieties of trees.
Stag, fox, roe deer, wild boar, hare, badger, squirrel, birds, freshwater fish, but also flowers and trees of the Loire valley will no longer hold any secret from you!
During the summer you can get to know our château’s mascots, the horses!
