Azay-le-Rideau is renowned for its magnificent Renaissance château, a dreamy fairy-tale-like building that is surrounded by a moat and lovely gardens. The Château d'Azay-le-Rideau was built in the 16th century by a wealthy financier. The design of this stately château was greatly influenced by Italian architecture. The most notable features on the ground floor are the rib-vaulted kitchen and the dining room with a richly decorated chimney and numerous tapestries. Sumptuous Renaissance furniture and paintings decorate the reception rooms. In the town of Azay-le-Rideau, there is an interesting church, the Eglise Saint-Symphorien, that blends Romanesque and Gothic styles. The facade of the south aisle reveals remains of Carolingian reliefs. In the nearby Château of Saché, the famous author Honoré de Balzac (1799-1850) wrote some of his novels. The room where Balzac worked has been preserved as it was.

8.8/10 Excellent! (932 reviews)
This was the 4th hotel on our 2 week trip and it was our least favourite, but that’s not to say there was anything bad. The decor in the hotel is dark, so the hallways have a creepy feel. The lights were off unless motion activated, which added to the creepiness factor (not enough where I truly felt creeped out, but enough that we both commented on it). Don’t bother paying extra for the breakfast as it’s quite small and there is a bakery on the corner (1 min walk). There a lot of restaurants in the area that are great. The room was small, the toilet cubby was small and only one person could be in the bathroom. When you walk to the corner, there is a great view of the Eiffel Tower so that’s a plus. The metro is also a 5 minute walk away so it’s very convenient. In summary, it was a decent hotel, but I wouldn’t return as there was other Paris options with bigger rooms and lighter decor.
