Sully-sur-Loire
The main attraction at Sully-sur-Loire is the château surrounded by a moat. It is a superb example of a medieval fortress, built in the 14th century on a site that since Roman times was one of the few crossings of the Loire River.
The château’s most famous owner was Maximilien de Bethune, first duke of Sully, and for centuries the castle belonged to his descendants. It is now a publicly owned museum with tapestries, paintings, sculptures and other ancient artifacts.
Apart from the château, the town of Sully-sur-Loire itself is worth a visit to stroll the streets and browse the shops, perhaps stop at a restaurant or outdoor café. Pictured below is the Hôtel de Ville (city hall).
