Listed since 2000 as a continuing cultural landscape on the UNESCO World Heritage List, the Loire Valley has some of the most beautiful castles in the world stretched out along its river. An epicenter of art and history, the region is glorified by the intricate styles and silhouettes of Chambord, Chenonceau, Cheverny, Azay-le-Rideau, and many others. Everything here seems dedicated to refined elegance, from the gardens of Villandry to the prestigious setting of the Cadre Noir. A journey into both elegance and time.

Les Hauts de Loire

Onzain / Veuzain-sur-Loire - France 36 rooms

This property is annually closed. Reopening on 12/26/24

Restaurant and hotel in a park. Along the wine route, among approximately 3,000 chateaux that have led the region to be known as the ‘Land of Kings’, stands Les Hauts de Loire. A former hunting lodge built in 1860, this property is an idyllic refuge for couples, family or friends, less than three hours from Paris. Its elegant ivy-covered silhouette nestles in the heart of a remarkable 173-acre/70-hectare park, which invites exploration throughout the year. Relax at the spa while the children enjoy the kids’ club, or set off together to discover the riches of the Loire region–the chateaux of Blois and Chambord are located just a short distance away. Like refined cocoons, the rooms and suites of the Les Hauts de Loire charm with their exposed beams and half-timbered walls. And to satisfy the appetites of young and old alike, the chef of the gourmet restaurant combines simplicity with sophistication is dishes using local, seasonal produce. ... Learn moreless

Navigate under Chenonceau

Navigate under Chenonceau

What could be nicer, in summer, than renting a small boat and drifting down the Cher under the splendid Château de Chenonceau? This might be the most pleasant way to discover this masterpiece, built on the water in 1513. You can escape from the crowds and get up close with its history.

It must be said that the former head of Louis XV’s government wanted to transform his property in Amboise into a renowned intellectual and artistic site. Although the palace was demolished...
