4 bedroom Chateau in Ingrandes-de-Touraine, Center, France: ref 5217562

Featured in The Guardian’s Top 10 Best Foodie Retreats in

Rural France. Your wedding or family holiday will be a true

fairytale affair at this chateau in the Loire Valley. Situated on

top of a hill and covered in creeping vines, this Old World castle

has been renovated with the utmost care and taste. The expertly

styled interior epitomizes the easy, chic sophistication of ‘art

de vivre la française’. From the sleek chef’s kitchen, to

the rustic spiral stairs, the rich character of this chateau

shines; especially impressive is the mezzanine above the formal

dining room. Outside, the grounds slope down to the River

L’Anglin, where you’ll paddle or fish beneath the shade of a

450 year old oak tree. The 35 acre property is situated near the

tiny town of Ingrandes, which you can reach with a leisurely 20

minute walk along the river (or a quick bike ride, just borrow

cycles from the chateau). Nearby attractions include the Romanesque

Abbey in Saint-Savin (10 km), home to well-preserved 11th and 12th

century murals. There’s natural beauty in abundance at La Brenne

Regional Nature Park (30 km) past Le Blanc. Your holiday (or the

days before your wedding) can be a time of calm reflection in this

peaceful region of France.

Our place is different from other places in many a sense.

Our estate is a small hamlet of 6 houses around a large Manor

house.

We sometimes rent the whole estate for weddings or special

gatherings and our guests usually stay between 2 days and a week

thus having family and close friends stay together to celebrate the

occasion on a longer basis …. Before and/or after Picnics,

barbecues, canoeing down the river on a more casual basis to create

ties intra or inter- families….

Our estate is not a hotel and we do not have a banquet department

with in house staff, kitchens and cooks.

As a private estate, and we offer to host weddings in a manner

which ranges from using the park and the manor as a décor or have

the exclusive use of the estate for the event thus renting the

park, the barns, the guest rooms in the manor house and the 4 outer

buildings…all to make the venue a memorable moment.

To help organize the events we:

Either

Only provide the contacts of suppliers…. And all is managed by

guests, ordered by them and paid by them. We only make sure that

all is organized within
