About the Experience
The Royal City of Loches is one of the most impressive and best-preserved medieval complexes in Europe. Dominating the picturesque Indre Valley, the site is divided into two distinct historical chapters: the towering, imposing 11th-century keep built by the Counts of Anjou, and the elegant royal lodgings that once housed Joan of Arc and Agnès Sorel.
Booking your Loches tickets online gives you full access to both monuments and a high-tech journey into the heart of the Middle Ages.
