Maison Proust’s location in Richelieu allows visitors to enjoy the convenience and delight of this beautiful and unique town in the Touraine. Attached to the town are the walled parklands where Cardinal Richelieu’s palace once stood. The chateau is now gone but the pathways remain, along with some remarkable structural relics of the Cardinal’s vision and acres of space for bike riding, walking and even boating. In summer, festivals, horse races, fairs and celebrations descend bringing added activity and amusement to this prestigious park and town.
