The Chateau de Candé may at first glance look much like any other small fairytale Renaissance style chateau. But its real treasure is 20th century. Between the Wars the chateau was owned by a very wealthy and stylish couple who reflect the new interest in sport and fitness. Not only did they have a stable full of horses and ride regularly, they had a golf course, tennis court and home gymnasium. The gym equipment was supplied by the same company that fitted out the gymnasiums for the great cruise liners, including the Titanic. It is all still there in the generously sized gym room in the basement, in working order and now very rare.
If you are interested in the development of personal health and fitness movements, or the glamorous 1920s and 30s, ask us to include the Chateau of Candé in your itinerary for a tour with us.
