Forteresse Royale de Chinon - Loire Valley
À la croisée de trois provinces : l'Anjou, le Poitou et la Touraine, l'éperon rocheux où se dresse la forteresse royale de Chinon est un site stratégique occupé dès l'Antiquité et convoité de tout temps.
Un château y est édifié au plus tard au Xe siècle. C'est Henri II Plantagenêt, comte d'Anjou et roi d'Angleterre à partir de 1154, qui va donner à la forteresse sa silhouette actuelle en y faisant notamment construire un palais neuf sur le fort Saint Georges.
Overlooking the crossroads of the three provinces of Anjou, Poitou and Touraine, the rocky spur on which the royal fortress of Chinon stands is a strategic site that has been occupied since Antiquity and coveted from the word go..
A castle was built there no later than the 10th century. It was Henry II Plantagenet, Count of Anjou and King of England, who gave the fortress its current appearance from 1154 onwards.

Royal Fortress of Chinon, Loire Valley, France
Overlooking the crossroads of the three provinces of Anjou, Poitou and Touraine, the rocky spur upon which the royal fortress of Chinon stands is a strategic and much coveted location that has been occupied since Antiquity.
There has been a castle on the site at least since the 10th century, when Theobald the Trickster, Count of Blois, built a tower there. But it was not until 1154 that Henry II Plantagenet, Count of Anjou and King of England, set the fortress on the road to its present grandeur.
In 1205, King Philip Augustus of France took possession of the castle following a lengthy siege, and had the Coudray keep built.
In 1308, the castle was the scene of a major event in the history of the Knights Templar. Their Grand Master, Jacques de Molay, and a number of the Order's high dignitaries were imprisoned there before being condemned to death and burned at the stake in Paris.
In 1427, during the Hundred Years' War, Charles VII's court made its home at Chinon Castle. It was there, in 1429, that he received Joan of Arc, who had come to assure him of his legitimacy and persuade him to go to Reims to be crowned
The fortress began its fall into decay in the 17th century, under the ownership of Cardinal Richelieu. In 1808, the monument was graciously handed over to the care of the Arrondissement Council -- the General Council as it is now known.

Come to get the thing you need:
Château de Chinon is a castle located on the bank of the Vienne river in Chinon, France. It was founded by Theobald I, Count of Blois. In the 11th century the castle became the property of the counts of Anjou. In 1156 Henry II of England, a member of the House of Anjou, took the castle from his brother Geoffrey after he had rebelled for a second time. Henry favoured the Château de Chinon as a residence: most of the standing structure can be attributed to his reign and he died there in 1189.
Early in the 13th century, King Philip II of France harassed the English lands in France and in 1205 he captured Chinon after a siege that lasted several months, after which the castle remained under French control. When King Philip IV accused the Knights Templar of heresy during the first decade of the 14th century, several leading members of the order were imprisoned there.
Used by Charles VII in the 15th century, the Château de Chinon became a prison in the second half of the 16th century, but then fell out of use and was left to decay. It has been recognised as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture since 1840. The castle, which contains a museum, is now owned and managed by the Indre-et-Loire General Council and is a major tourist attraction. In the early 21st century it was restored at a cost of 14.5 million euros.**Source from wikipedia**
