Discover the new scenography of the Château de Baugé: The Palace of King René
Explore the life of one of the greatest princes of the 15th century, where he loved to live, entertain, hunt and cultivate the arts. In this brand new journey, let yourself be told the stories of a great story, that of a unique knight-artist.
Imagine… You are the guest of a royal banquet, you discover the precious works of its library or, surprise, you walk through an astonishing forest in the attic of the castle until then closed to the public. Between history and poetry, daily life and imagination, the new route of the Palace of King René will leave you dreaming.
The Hôtel Dieu de Baugé, a stone's throw from the castle, houses one of the most beautiful apothecaries in France, with its collection of more than 650 jars. An exceptional visit will immerse you in the secrets of medicine and the pharmacopoeia of the XNUMXth century. The exhibition “From care for the body to care for the soul” retraces the life of this hospital and the daily life of the Sisters of Saint-Joseph.
