Lettre de Camille Claudel à Rodin - La petite châtelaine de Camille Claudel

Welcome to Château de l’Islette

Château de l'Islette, charme, passion, éléganceIn the heart of Touraine, in an attractive setting which is a harmonious mix of the delicate whiteness of the local stone and the ever changing green of the river Indre, the Château de l'Islette has the great pleasure to open it’s doors to welcome you.


The Rennaissance Castle,

held tightly in the midst 

of the rivers, reminds us

of it’s neighbour, Château

 d’Azay-le-Rideau,

We often refer to them

as the two brothers…

Here force combines with grace.

Camille Claudel and Rodin stayed at l’Islette a few times and it acted as a hideaway for their passionate love. The château encourages one to get carried away by the romantic charm of the Indre Valley.
