 The Castle:

For almost a thousand years the  Château d’Alogny has dominated the valley of the  Creuse, where the historic Touraine and Poitou regions meet.  Standing on a wooded bluff overlooking the river, it enjoys breathtaking panoramic views across the surrounding countryside.   

On the lawn in front of the château, a great  megalithic  standing stone or menhir  provides mute testimony to the fact that this has been revered as a sacred site for over ten thousand years.  

Alogny is located near the attractive spa town of La Roche Posay, which has been famous since Roman times for the healing properties of its medicinal waters.  These waters are still valued today and our visitors too can enjoy luxurious massages, facials, and other therapeutic treatments.  La Roche Posay skin care products are highly regarded and are sold around the world.
