Chinon (French pronunciation:[ʃinɔ̃]ⓘ) is a commune in the Indre-et-Loire department, Centre-Val de Loire, France.[3]
The traditional province around Chinon, Touraine, became a favorite resort of French kings and their nobles beginning in the late 15th and early 16th centuries. The Renaissance châteaux which they built new or erected on the foundations of old fortresses earned this part of the Loire Valley the nickname "The Garden of France." Chinon played an important and strategic role during the Middle Ages, serving both French and English kings.
Chinon is known for its wine, castle, and historic town. Its part of the Loire Valley been registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2000.
