The Château de Jallanges, located in the commune of Vernou-sur-Brenne, Indre-et-Loire, France, is a private monument historique still inhabited by its owners. Originally owned by one of 50 chevaliers bannerets, guards established by King Philip Augustus, the current chateau was built on the foundations of a fortress from the 11th century. Constructed by King Louis XI in 1465, this castle is a testament to the Renaissance era, inspired by Venice’s culture. The castle features a park of century-old cedars and a roseraie with over 2000 roses and 219 varieties. The castle also has a Renaissance French garden and a gallery known as 'banneret' with 7 giant frescoes in trompe l'oeil.
