Montsoreau has stood overlooking the Loire since the 11^th century, in the heart of a region now inscribed in the UNESCO World Heritage List. Atop a white chalk cliff, the village was born from the union of two settlements, Rest and Montsoreau. It was also a strategic spot for monitoring land and river traffic, enabling lords and abbots to grow rich on toll charges. But what makes Montsoreau really stand out today is the dazzling whiteness of its tuffeau stone.
