The Poitou-Charentes / Vendee / Deux Sevres region
Le Chateau de Saint Louis is located in the most southern part of the Loire Valley in the region of Poitou-Charentes between the cities of Parthenay and Thouars.
During the Renaissance (1518), it was Artus Gouffier, the king's chamberlain, who became owner of the property. His family also owned the Château of Oiron, 19 kilometers away. It was Claude Gouffier and his son Louis who, between 1609 and 1626, built the Château that you see today.
The Parthenay area
The castle is a 3 hour drive from Paris. By high-speed TGV train from Paris the travel time is 1.5 hours to Poitiers, which is a 45 minute drive to the castle.
As you wander round the enceinte to the other side of the Château, you reach the basculating bridge, from which there is a panoramic view over the whole of the parks and gardens, nowadays extending to 50 hectares (110 acres). The surface of the bridge has its original cobbled red sandstone.
