Despite periodic facelifts since its construction in 1434, the exterior of le Petit Chteau retains a proud formality typical of many smaller Loire chteaux. Inside you’ll find a welcoming décor with up-to-date comfort. Spacious rooms run the full depth of the house and are lit all day by tall French windows. Fireplaces and comfortable sofas and chairs make for a relaxed atmosphere. The two master suites have beds adorned with fine fabric canopies, decorative pillows, and sitting areas. The two top floor twin bed rooms are ideal for young people.

Wood-beamed ceilings, a tower housing a spiral staircase, and the long tree-lined drive evoke a sense of romance oft associated with the Loire - long the playground of France’s royalty.  The Chteau is surrounded by nearly twenty acres blending expansive lawns with spacious woods welcoming walkers.  Spectacular entry gates welcome the visitors. Nearby, you'll discover many of Europe’s most impressive chteaux. Beyond its panoply of historic sites, the Loire is renowned for food and wine. Vineyards abound, markets are animated, and the concentration of excellent restaurants is the highest outside of Paris.
