Overview

Step through the wrought-iron gates of this 15th- and 16th-century Renaissance château, where the very stones hum with the secrets of kings and the Loire’s golden light spills across 24 hectares of manicured parkland. Here, in the hallowed triangle between Chambord’s towering spires, Chenonceau’s graceful arches, and Amboise’s royal ghosts, a castle of 1,200 square meters stands sentinel—its dry moat a silent guardian, its courtyard of honor a prelude to grandeur.

Cross the threshold into a world where time bends. The majestic entrance hall, bathed in the glow of centuries-old oak, unfurls into a double living room where firelight dances on tapestried walls. Beyond, a professional kitchen—cold room, preparation sanctuaries, and all—awaits the next maestro of gastronomy, while below, cellars slumber with the promise of vintage treasures. Thirty-three chambers, seventeen of them suites draped in en-suite elegance, offer sanctuary within the château’s embrace. Ten more suites hide in *La Porterie*, its round and square towers framing a bar with *licence IV*, a seminar room where ideas take flight, and offices where dreams are signed into being.

Outside, the estate breathes. A heated pool mirrors the sky, its solarium a gilded stage for sun-worshippers, while the tennis court echoes with the sharp *thwack* of a well-struck ball. A heliport and hot-air balloon helisurface promise arrivals as dramatic as the château’s own history—just two hours from Paris by TGV, yet worlds away. The orangery, a jewel-box of a reception room, hosts eighty guests beneath glass and greenery, while a two-bedroom cottage and three-bedroom villa offer secluded retreats within the domain. A *longère* of 160 square meters, waiting to be reborn, and a whispering pond complete the tableau.

This is more than a property; it is a legacy. A 3-star hotel where every corner tells a story—where the morning mist over the pond dissolves into the promise of croissants in the courtyard, where the 15-minute drive to Chenonceau or the 18 to Amboise feels like a pilgrimage through time. For the investor with vision, the hotelier with soul, or the romantic who hears the call of turrets and towering oaks, this château is not merely for sale. It is an invitation—to steward history, to host legends, to wake each dawn in the heart of France’s most enchanted valley.
