Chissay-en-Touraine is a small commune in the Loir-et-Cher department, roughly 8 km west of Montrichard along the Cher river. The village sits within the Loire Valley UNESCO World Heritage corridor, declared in 2000, placing it minutes from major châteaux including Chenonceau (14 km east) and Cheverny (30 km north). The landscape is defined by tuffeau limestone cliffs, troglodyte cellars, and vineyards producing Touraine AOC whites.
