From Sully-sur-Loire, it's about a 30 minute drive north to the town of Bellegarde and its château, which was built starting in the 14th century and re-built in the 15th. Bellegarde is a place I liked to drive through and it was a good rest stop when we used to drive to Paris, as I wrote back then, at the drop of a hat. Bellegarde is about two hours northeast of Saint-Aignan and Paris is about two hours north of Bellegarde.
The moat around the château at Bellegard is a small lake.
Like Sully, Bellegarde offers nice moat relections...
Wow, that's not the usual look that tourists expect -- that would be a good one to see :)

Another great looking smaller chateau. The double stairways on the front facade are interesting! I didn't realize you were four hours total from Paris by car - I somehow thought it was less, maybe by the train time.
