Richelieu (Indre-et-Loire)
A walled town created by Cardinal Richelieu with streets running in parallel and at right angles. It is said to be the model on which New York and most other American cities were constructed.
Richelieu's chateau is long gone (the stone from which it was constructed had been stolen from another chateau by Cardinal Richelieu and, following his death, someone paid him the same compliment!). However, the chateau gardens, owned by Paris University, are a delight, containing unusual plants and trees from across the world.
The ancient vaulted Market Hall (Les Halles) is still used for its original purpose every Monday and Friday morning and also serves as a venue for a variety of exhibitions throughout the year. There is a monthly 'flea market'.
The cafes surrounding the central square are ideal for 'watching the world go by' after an exhausting morning's shopping at the market.
