A château made famous by a wedding with the perfume of scandal

The current château owes its appearance to François Briçonnet, mayor of Tours. In 1503, he had a Renaissance-style château built. At the dawn of the 19th century, a new and rich elite settles in the Loire Valley. Thus, in 1853, Santiago Drake Del Castillo, heir of a rich Anglo-Cuban family, enlarged the château, added a wing to the main pavilion and began the creation of the English-style park.

Candé had its moment of glory in 1937 when the Duke of Windsor celebrated his wedding with the American Wallis Simpson. During your event, you may be lucky enough to discover the newlyweds' signature engraved on the library's woodwork!

The Domaine de Candé, a place with a modern and audacious design

A symbolic reception place, Candé has been modernized throughout its history. At the beginning of the 20th century, the Bedaux family, rich Franco-American owners equipped it with facilities that were rare at the time. From the two-level kitchens, the fitness room with the same equipment as the Titanic, to the rare Skinner organ, one of the last three in the world, Candé is an estate dedicated to events.

With a capacity of 500 people, its numerous reception areas offer great perspectives for your corporate parties or photo shoots and filming.

Very interesting chateau. We went by chance. It was where Wallis Simpson and Edward were married

A lovely old chateau which, we found out by accident, was where the Duke of Windsor married Wallis Simpson! It's quite a quirky place and well worth the tour of the chateau which you can do without a guide. There are explanatory sheets in each room in several languages. You can also wander around the large grounds where there are several objects of interest plus some lakes to view.

Fabulous visit to the location of Edward and Mrs Simpson's wedding. Plenty of information in all the rooms in at least three languages.

After visiting some of the larger Chateau's with large crowds it was very pleasant to have a quieter and more intimate journey here. This day we essentially had the house to ourselves, The house and grounds are beautiful. The staging of the rooms with the original furnishings was delightful. It was interesting to see how the house evolved with subsequent owners and inventions. For example, a telephone hidden behind a movable wall panel. Well worth a visit!
