🏰 Château de Thoury – A Hidden Jewel Near Chambord, France

#postandearn 📍 Address: Château de Thoury, 41220 Thoury, Loir-et-Cher, Centre-Val de Loire, France Tucked quietly amidst lush greenery just minutes from the grandeur of Château de Chambord, Château de Thoury is an elegant 17th-century estate that offers a more intimate and serene experience. With its charming symmetrical façade, peaceful gardens, and rich heritage, it feels like stepping into a French historical novel—without the crowds. This privately-owned château whispers of aristocratic elegance and timeless rural beauty. While it doesn’t boast the scale of royal castles, its authenticity and quiet allure are perfect for those seeking an off-the-beaten-path gem in the Loire Valley. Highlights include: • A graceful château set among woodlands and open countryside. • Quiet reflection by the ornamental pond and tree-lined pathways. • Perfect location for peaceful walks or a romantic countryside drive. • Ideal photo spots with ivy-draped walls and rustic stone textures. 🌿 Tips: • Since it is private property, check in advance if visits or stays are allowed. • Combine with a visit to nearby Château de Chambord for a perfect contrast between royal opulence and countryside elegance. • Spring and autumn offer the best light and fewer tourists in the region. • Bring a picnic and enjoy the views nearby if the estate grounds are not open for tours. Château de Thoury is not just a building—it’s a mood: peaceful, refined, and effortlessly French. #ChâteauDeThoury #loirevalley #hiddenfrance #frenchcountryside #historicchateau #chambordregion #slowtravelfrance #romanticgetaway #undiscoveredfrance#familytrip #localguides #historicallandmarks #历史古迹 #châteaudethoury
