Le Cottage de Daphné

In the Pays de Richelieu, come and stay at the crossroads of Touraine and Poitou, two major centers of French history. Between the Châteaux of the Loire and Futuroscope, Pénélope and Gilles cultivate the art of hospitality, where the word "partage" (sharing) is an obvious choice. A wonderful meeting in prospect! In the heart of the Loire-Anjou-Touraine Regional Nature Park, a rich cultural and gastronomic heritage (you're in the land of the Black Diamond, the truffle), the Unesco-listed Loire Valley and its châteaux: Chinon, Amboise, Chenonceau, Azay le Rideau, Loches, Villandry and, nearby and no less remarkable, those of Le Rivau and Ussé, and walks on the greenway between Richelieu and Chinon. The Vienne, Poitou (Romanesque art, Futuroscope), Angles sur l'Anglin (Roc des Sorciers) and Beauval Zoo are also waiting for you.

When the charm of the countryside, its tranquility and authenticity in the noblest sense of the word, are sublimely tinged with the gentle attentions that Pénélope and Gilles know how to offer, you'll inevitably grasp the happiness they wish to share, that of having unearthed their cocoon in the Loire Valley and all the art of living of Touraine. Your family suite, in the outbuilding of this typical Richelieu country house where the Cardinal built this charming city, unique in France (about 10 km away), offers space, a relaxation area and an ambience where tufa stone, wood and cathedral ceilings mingle. You'll feel right at home in any season, thanks to the landscaped garden and terrace with its beautiful wisteria, for breakfasts in spring, summer and autumn. In autumn and the depths of winter, the wood-burning stove will provide you with warm moments of relaxation and plenitude. Electric vehicle charging station 1.5 km away.
