One hour from Paris, our beautiful 19-century villa, built by a famous French architect for his family, is located in the heart of the famous Valley of the Castles directly on the Loire. We own a charming, spacious 19th century mansion with 6 bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large living room, dining room, kitchen and big garden. From the terrace you have an exceptional and unobstructed view on the last wild river in Europe.

Most of the villages in the area have markets, and you are never far away from excellent and fancy restaurants. There are eight golf courses in and around Orleans, riding stables 5 km away, canoeing or kayaking on the Loire and boat trips on the Canals ( Orleans and Briare ) Some marvelous walks and rides along the two paths by the River Loire. Or you travel the Loire Valley wine road, to Cheverny, Chinon, Saumur, Sancerre etc...and Vouvray ( which produces the best sparkling wine outside Champagne). You can also take a balloon flight and see the countryside and chateaux hidden among the forests from the air.
