Montresor ('most beautiful villages of the Loire') is found 20 km east of Loches, in the Centre region of France. Montresor sits quietly on the banks of the Indrois River, with its fine chateau as a romantic backdrop to the village.

The village retains its 11th century fortress, built on top of a rocky outcrop (with walls, towers and gate intact) and a medieval covered market, and is truly one of those 'step back in time' villages that are found so infrequently. Built originally for defensive purposes, the chateau was transformed into a Renaissance Mansion in the 15th century.
