We loved walking around the medieval town and especially enjoyed our tour of the Chinon Castle. Our most magical time, however, was spent on a private tour of the Chapelle Sainte-Radogonde with a medieval art historian. We ate at two great restaurants: La Part des Anges and L’Océanic Definitely try the delicious Couthy-Dutheil wines. Truly excellent. Gettting around on foot is great, but driving the narrow lanes is challenging. Do not rely on Google maps for directions to anything within the medieval center.
The town is beautiful, perched on top of a hill above the river Vienne. It feels very medieval but not too touristy. We visited the castle for half a day, and it was really interesting, having belonged to Henry II, with stone towers you can climb and get beautiful views from. Last but not least, there are really good French restaurants here. The center square is a good place to hang out in. The people were very friendly.
Small town, nice architecture especially round the back streets. the hotel provided a map with a good route. check what events are on before you go if possible. hotel has ample public car parking under a statue of joan of ark. between across the road is the river vienne wit a tree covered car park and walkway
Easy to find, wonderful history!! on the edge of the Loire Valley, lots to see and do. Wonderful little restaurant Le Table a Jeanne, excellent food and service. Amazingly beautiful place!! Views from the fortress are wonderful. History is awesome.
We loved Chinon. It is a medieval city with narrow, cobblestone streets and very old buildings. The town has put up many plaques in both French and English explaining the importance of each building. There was a large choice of restaurants to choose from and many little shops. We were also there when the open air market was in progress which was also fun. The fortress was very interesting and an important part of French history.
Chinon is a lovely base for exploring the Loire Valley and visiting chateaux between Saumur and Tours. Very quiet and safe. Indescribably charming medieval old town between the castle bluff and the river. Not many restaurants in the lower price ranges that are open late, but we returned from Villandry around 21:30 and found that the proprietors of Les Sauveurs d'Italie were happy to stay open long enough to feed us some delicious pizza and pasta and chat for a bit before we headed back to the gite to put the kids to bed. We recommend it!
“Great location, right smack dab in the heart of Chinon. The staff was friendly, the room was spacious and clean, and breakfast was tasty. A great choice!”
“Everything! The location is top, the host Maurice was extremely polite, he even offered us to park the car in his garage for free. The hotel is new in a very old and beautiful building from the 15-th century. The room and bathroom were spacious, very very clean and decorated with love. The breakfast was wonderful with fresh pressed juice and homemade crepes. The whole time in the morning was playing gorgeous classic music..Just the perfect place!”
