Appartement de l'Abbé de Turpenay

All-inclusive gîte in a historic residence in the heart of Chinon. On foot, you'll discover the pearl of Touraine, with its magnificent buildings, its medieval streets and alleys, and its river, the Vienne, which runs through the town before emptying a few leagues from here into the Royal River.

The charming town of Chinon welcomes you. A true jewel of Touraine, it offers a wealth of architectural treasures and is a real pleasure to wander through its streets and alleys, or along the Vienne River, where you can also take a gabare or canoe trip. Your gîte overlooks the river, with a view of the royal fortress. Its living room and fully-equipped kitchen make it an ideal base for exploring the region. Nearby restaurants, the château and the beach are all within walking distance. The surrounding vineyards, Anjou (Abbaye royale de Fontevraud, Saumur) and Poitou (Romanesque art, Futuroscope) or the city of the Cardinal, Richelieu, are all within easy reach. The Loire à Vélo loop and the Vélo-route Chinon-Richelieu are ideal for discovering the region in a different way.
