This is where I work Mondays and Tuesdays - Montbazon. It is home to France's oldest castle, which is in fact a dungeon built in the 10th century by the dread Count of Anjou, a notorious jerk from French history. The Count, aka 'The Black Falcon' aka 'Fulk Nerra' celebrated a happy first millenium in December 999 by burning his wife at the stake in her wedding dress for sleeping with a goatherd.
According to the Engrishy inscription at the castle site, though, he "was also a man of great vision. To seize the Touraine at the end of the 10th century, he ringed his prey with revolutionary stone towers."
Montbazon is a really pretty little town, though - I work at College Albert Camus (middle school), mostly with sixieme (5th grade) and cinqieme (6th grade) students.
