Built during the Hundred Years' War, the Chateau d'Artigny formed part of the defence system constructed along the Indre River around the Montbazon keep. On 30th July 1912, Joseph Spoturno, known as François Coty, the famous perfume maker, bought the chateau.At his death in 1934, the chateau was sequestered at the demand of his many creditors. In 1940, the chateau was occupied successively by the Headquarters of the Ministry of the Navy, by German troops up to 1942 and by an Annex of the General Hospital of Tours. Finally, it became a temporary hospital once again until 1946. When the perfume maker's daughter inherited it in 1947, several offers to purchase were made to her. Ultimately, it was Mr. Rene Traversac who acquired it in 1959 in order to transform the chateau into a luxury hotel.The Chateau d'Artigny has welcomed a number of eminent people, such as the Queen Mother of England and the Negus of Ethiopia in 1963. On 24th November 1973, the "International Monetary Conference" brought together at Artigny the Finance Ministers of the five greatest world powers (including V. Giscard d'Estaing).
