La Douce Parenthèse

In the heart of a charming village nestled in the Vienne valley, close to Chinon and Azay-le-Rideau, you'll also be staying amidst the vineyards of the Chinon AOC appellation. Between the magnificent landscapes of Touraine and the Loire Valley, the famous Loire castles, the Futuroscope 50 minutes away and the Beauval ZooPark 1h15 away, everything invites you to come and enjoy a pleasant stay at La Douce Parenthèse!

The village of L'Île-Bouchard enjoys an unspoilt setting where the Touraine art of living can be savored at every moment. The surrounding Vineyard landscape, local gastronomy, cycling, walking and canoeing all invite you to relax and escape. Your Holiday cottage, set in one of the oldest houses in the village, is just a stone's throw from the charming church made famous by the Marian apparitions of the last century, which today attract some 50,000 pilgrims every year, without disturbing the tranquility of the surroundings. This character property combines old-world charm with contemporary comforts, and boasts a pleasant terrace for al fresco dining. It's also ideally located for exploring the great sites of the Loire Valley: Chinon and its Royal Fortress, its medieval streets, Richelieu, a city with an architectural heritage unique in Europe, Azay-le-Rideau, Loches, Château de Chenonceau and Amboise. Less well-known but just as remarkable is the Château du Rivau. The Richelieu-Chinon greenway for cycling, canoe trips on the Vienne river and gourmet discoveries at the owners' farm, just ten kilometers away, will make your stay unforgettable.
