The Chateau of Ussé (château d'Ussé in French) is the chateau of Sleeping Beauty. Charles Perrault visited the estate many times and Walt Disney also used Ussé as an inspiration when designing several Disney castles. Sleeping Beauty is featured throughout the castle, which makes it a great place to visit with little kids. It is a privately-owned castle with the family still living there. It offers a mix of medieval and Renaissance architecture and also has a beautiful chapel. The chateau of Ussé is not the most famous castle in the Loire Valley, but it is one of the most fairytale like castles in the Loire Valley of France.
