La Chambre du Père Pou

In the heart of the superb city of Chinon, on the banks of the Vienne and dominated by the royal fortress, this historic 19th-century mansion welcomes you.

Chinon is an exceptional little town, a jewel in the crown of Touraine, offering a wealth of architectural treasures. You'll enjoy strolling through its streets and alleys or along the Vienne River, where you can also take a gabare or canoe trip, or follow the Loire à Vélo loop and the Chinon-Richelieu Vélo-route. From your bed & breakfast, with its original architecture, you'll be able to see the river and the royal fortress that dominates it. Edwige will be delighted to welcome you to her house, which has such a rich history and was once the centerpiece of a very grand residence. Nearby restaurants, stores, the castle and the beach are all within walking distance. The surrounding vineyards and numerous winegrowers, the proximity of Anjou (Royal Abbey of Fontevraud, Saumur) and Poitou (Romanesque Art, Futuroscope) or the city of Cardinal Richelieu are not to be missed.

Historic house, once a presbytery in the heart of town, built on the ancient ramparts of the château. Public parking in the street in front of the house. Bedroom located on the 3rd floor of the owners' house (1 bed 160, bathroom with toilet). Microwave and small fridge available in the room. WIFI connection. Non-smoking accommodation.
