Château de Brissac
Towering seven stories above the Loire Valley, Château de Brissac is famous as the tallest castle in France, renowned for its grand Baroque architecture and centuries-old aristocratic history. Beneath its opulent gold-leaf ceilings and historic tapestries lies a tragic 15th-century double murder that spawned one of Europe's most famous ghosts: La Dame Verte (The Green Lady). Guests and castle occupants regularly encounter ghostly moans, disembodied footsteps, and spectral apparitions wandering through the grand halls.
