Description

Slot Ussé ligger ved Indre, en biflod til Loire. Det er bygget på en skråning og ligger mellem Indre og skoven ved Chinon. Slottet har med sine tårne et eventyrligt udseende.
Historien om slottet starter i det 15. århundrede, da Jean de Beuil begynder at bygge et slot på grunden af en tidligere fæstning. Efter hans død i 1477 blev byggeriet fortsat af hans søn Antoine, der var gift med Jeanne af Valois, en uægte datter af kong Charles VII med sin elskerinde Agnès Sorel. I 1485 solgte Antoine de Beuil slottet til Jacques Espinay, kong Louis XI's kammerherre og senere til Charles VIII. I denne periode blev bl.a. den vestlige fløj bygget. Jacques efterlod slottet til sin søn Charles og hans kone Lucrèce de Pons. I sit testamente havde han fastsat, at der skulle bygges et stort kapel på slotets område af hans arvinger. Charles og Lucrèce udførte denne opgave og satte desuden deres præg på slottet ved at påføre deres initialer, C og L, mange steder.
