Discover the Heart of France
Known as “The Garden of France” and recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Loire Valley is one of Europe’s most enchanting regions. Rich in history, gastronomy, and natural beauty, it offers countless opportunities for your guests to enjoy before, during, or after your stay at the château.
Where We Are
Our château is nestled in the quiet village of Vernantes, where you’ll find cafés, restaurants, a pharmacy, supermarket, and local services, all within walking distance.
Just a short drive away is Saumur, a lively riverside town famous for its Renaissance château, equestrian traditions, and vibrant Saturday market. Stroll along the Loire River, visit museums, or enjoy a glass of Crémant de Loire in one of the many bars and restaurants.
