A beautiful setting right on the river and I lovely house
United States of AmericaEverything! Jeanne is so kind and sweet with an amazing smile. She was so helpful and caring to us. The breakfast is outstanding and the property is better than the pictures! So peaceful and beautiful by the river. You are also just a 5min drive to Chinon. This place was amazing and I would come back for sure!

Host Info
C'est dans une petite ruelle chargée de petites histoires qui court vers la vienne que l'on découvre la propriété familiale,noble maison de maître de 1850 . L'atmosphère des lieux est si romantique que notre esprit vagabonde en surplombant la rivière et en écoutant le chuchotement des oiseaux . Le regard se pose sur le coeur de l'église du XI siècle où Jeanne D'Arc est venu lors de sa visite à Chinon pour voir le roi Charles VII et majestueusement elle se dresse dans le jardin clos de la propriété . Ici, la pierre de tuffe règne en maître et éclaire les façades La demeure à la douceur exquise des petits matins de campagne , le contemporain associé aux mobiliers d'époque lui donnent une douce tonalité ,partout des détails amusants . La chambre on la quitte le matin avec nostalgie ... pour la retrouver le soir avec bonheur . la terrasse éclairée par le lever du soleil nous fait profiter d'un petit déjeuner en extérieur face à la rivière et la douce ondulation de la végétation ,accompagné par le chant de nombreux oiseaux et du majestueux Héron cendré . les soirées , en attendant le coucher de soleil qui illumine le Château de Chinon ... "la douceur de vivre Tourangelle ".
Rivière , petit village de caractère qui vie au fil de l'eau (la vienne) aux portes de Chinon et au coeur de la vallée de la loire, des principaux châteaux , des vignes. Le site est classé au patrimoine mondial de l'Unesco depuis novembre 2000
