Comment

The royal fortress of Chinon, like many castles, is built on a rocky outcrop overlooking the Vienne and the city. This strategic position allowed it to control the passage on the Vienne, a tributary of the Loire. The town developed below, on the bank. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forteresse_royale_de_Chinon
