La Troglodyte

Magnificent troglodyte dwelling at the crossroads of the three provinces of Touraine, Anjou and Poitou, in the land of Rabelais. Its absolute charm, indoor troglodytic Piscine and warm welcome make it an exceptional place to stay. Close to Chinon and its Royal Fortress, as well as the Royal Abbey of Fontevraud, you're sure to fall in love with this unique place. Unforgettable moments await you...

Not far from the birthplace of Rabelais, come and follow in the (giant) footsteps of Gargantua and savor the art of living in this corner of Touraine, in the heart of the Loire Valley. Your guest house is a haven of peace, offering sumptuous views from the garden that so elegantly "caps" this troglodytic dwelling. Your room, vast and magnified by the white tufa rock, is as atypical as it is a source of Wellbeing. You'll love the indoor swimming pool, heated all year round, also dug into the rock, like a swimming corridor nestling in its own cave. Your stay in Touraine is sure to be a unique one, for both the unusual habitat and the decor (Thierry is a contemporary art collector and architecture enthusiast) create an atmosphere you won't forget. The dream is within your grasp, so grab it and come and discover this region so rich in monuments, gardens, vineyards and gastronomy. The history of France is intimately linked to that of Chinon, no doubt thanks to the arrival of Joan of Arc in Chinon in 1429. Chinon, the pearl of Touraine, with its medieval streets, its banks of the Vienne river and, of course, its Royal Fortress! You'll also be close to Saumur, Candes-St-Martin and Montsoreau (ranked among the Most Beautiful Villages in France and a must-see in our region). Between Futuroscope and Beauval Zoo, in the land of castles, Chenonceau, Amboise, Villandry, Azay-le-Rideau and many others will dazzle you. Let yourself be charmed... you're sure to return to this magical place!
