Take advantage of the exceptional location of our cottage on the banks of the Indre, in the heart of the Loire castles, the AOC Chinon and the Loire by bike circuits. The maximum accommodation capacity of the 2 gîte, located in the outbuildings of a farmhouse dating from 1860, is 4 people. You will find less than 1 kilometer the magnificent circuits of the Loire by bike, 3 km the castle of Ussé, 9 km the fortress of Chinon, 16 km the cellars of Bourgueil, 17 km the castle of Langeais, and still many other marvels with which Touraine abounds. Sandra and Frédéric will be happy to welcome you and share their tips.
We will be delighted to welcome you to our magnificent gîte located in the heart of the Loire castles and the vineyards of Chinon.
