"The sturdy grey stone towers of the Château de Luynes, high on the hillside above the little terraced town, make it look like a real stone fortress" — thus sayeth the Thomas Cook Publishing's Loire Valley guidebook. "In fact, it was tranformed from a castle to a home 600 years ago."
Cadogan's Loire guidebook chimes in: "Standing guard high above the Loire [...] west of Tours on the river's right bank, the formidable medieval Château de Luynes [...] dates back to the 13th century..."
On the left just above is a view of the terraced town of Luynes as seen from the château.
