Located seven miles to the south of Tours, Montbazon is a favorite stop along the Route d'Espagne. It was an important fortified town that controlled the valley of the Indre River. The castle of Montbazon (Fortresse de Montbazon), whose remainders are still visible today, was built from 991 to 994, and was one of the first castles in France. The valley, beginning at Montbazon and ending at the Loire River, comes into view here, a magnificent emerald basin along whose bottom the Indre River sinuously winds its way.
